below). This seemed like too much of a coincidence and careful consideration was given to the hypothesis that the two specimens were conspecific. Disregarding the mesoscutal horn, the most obvious difference between the two sympatric specimens is body size:

). Both are females, which rules out sexual dimorphism. Consideration was also given to the idea of allometry in the development of the horn because there is a clear indication of a small protuberance in the smaller specimen. Allometric variation in horn size is well documented in dung beetles (
