including types of both species. Regarding size and head shape (HW/HL), no significant difference can be appreciated. Also, the petiolar profile is similarly flat (Figs 43 C, 44 C, 57 C). If flatter profile does not refer to shape but to height, PH by itself does not separate the species (Fig. 45 B), but is quite useful as an index (PI=PL/PH, Fig. 46A). Except for values between 125 and 135 it can separate both species easily, but for values between them a more thorough analysis is needed.
