, making a restudy of the holotype superfluous. The few differences, such as size (4.4 vs 5.0 mm), coloration (brown vs blackish), the shape of the caudal tooth on pleurosternal carinae (sharp teeth vs triangular lappets), the presence of an anterolateral denticle on paraterga (very small vs virtually missing) etc., are deemed too minor, rather reflecting individual or population-level variation, to consider

However, because the gonopod tip of that sample shows a remarkably small subterminal lappet, while the paraterga and pleurosternal carinae slightly differ in shape from those of beaumontii, there can be no doubt of
