Is it not unusual for males to have two fewer segments than females, the most frequent pattern being 28segmented males and 30segmented females. Twentysix segments is uncommon and found only in a relatively few, very small, species. Two cases are known in which the fixed number is not an even number; in both there are 29 trunk segments. Reduction of segment number seems to be adaptive, since lower segment numbers are generally correlated with small size, and, as in the present case, it sometimes happens that species obviously closely related (with similar male gonopods) have different numbers.
