). However, because the relatively low number of specimens examined, especially of females (only two), it is not possible to be sure in what extent most of these differences are intraspecific or sexually dimorphic characteristics. Similarly, in relation to coloration, only the examination of more specimens of both sexes will allow ascertaining the range of variation and if there is any sexual dimorphism.
