Receptaculum seminis with a somewhat wider and shorter central tube, not forming a distinct ampulla at bottom; posterior tube gradually widening towards bottom, rather than constricting to form an ampulla.

With summit parts above 3000 m a.s.l., it could have split the population of the common ancestor of these two closely related species during colder periods in the geological past.
