) but these too also likely represent species complexes. We examined the aedeagus from a variety of populations, and indeed there are subtle variations. The apex of the ventral plate of the median lobe varies in length and shape. The width of the notch between the arms of the dorsal plate of the median lobe can be very narrow and be essentially not visible to be as broad as 1/4 the width of an arm at base. However, we were not able to correlate this variation with any structure in the molecular tree. We have taken a conservative approach, and favor treating all these populations as one widespread, somewhat variable species.
