male (SUB7440720) was found, confirming their conspecificity. However, this result raises a difficult issue, as Warncke believed the males of

<emphasis italics="true" pageId="0" pageNumber="31">A. d. agadira</emphasis>

males are incorrectly associated with the type series females. Given this uncertainty, it is not appropriate to propose synonymy between

until genetic sequences can be obtained from the
