-group). However, there are a number of specimens from several collecting events in which the dorsal surface appears dull and brownish. When viewed under a microscope, the surface of these specimens is rough and coarse; the surface of “normal” specimens is smooth. I originally interpreted this difference to indicate these were two species; however, further examination of other characters, including the genitalia did not reveal any substantive differences. Even more telling, a few specimens also appear to have patches of both

I suspect the latter may be the cause because the entire surface appears to be effaced, such that the ground punctation is no longer visible and the systematic punctures appear shallower.
