Still, in addition to the morphological differences (e. g., different shape of the buccal capsule and direction of the dorsal tooth), the Hungarian population is characterised by having a smaller buccal capsule length (and hence length / width ratio) and an overall smaller body length / tail length ratio (
<emphasis id="0DFD9E0E4E30EC7EED55D72A363C163C" italics="true">c</emphasis>

These data indicate that the Hungarian population may represent another species. However, it is impossible to identify this material given the scant data provided in
