B). Large and small specimens of both males and females had each colour pattern, so colouration was not size or sex related. The colour pattern was also independent of locality or depth of occurrence. Further, molecular data using the COI revealed that the different colour morphotypes do not form a separate clade and that the sequence differences between the two coloured forms (NIWA18180, NIWA18178 and NIWA18181) and the other morphotype (all other sequences) is the same as the interspecific divergence (0–2.19%). The sequence divergences within the colour morphotypes is 0.55–2.19% and the divergence within the non coloured morphotype is 0.0–1.83.
