). It is then divided into two clades also identified by the species delimitation approaches. The first one is mainly composed of samples from South America, i.e., Brazil, French Guiana, Argentina, Colombia, but also from the Galapagos Islands. The different intraspecific delimitations identified by the species delimitation approaches within this clade are therefore certainly related to geographical divergence. The historical samples originating from Panama and the United States Virgin Islands belong to this clade as well. The barcodes of these samples are not complete (Table

), the missing may induce phylogenetic artefacts due to long-branch attraction. A molecular analysis focused on this species including more localities but especially more loci could clarify this situation. The second cluster is composed of a clade of samples from the US on one side and a very large clade of samples from Costa Rica on the other. The latter shows a very low level of variation.

The vesica of a male specimen from Florida, USA (not illustrated here) was successfully everted by J. Baixeras, who wrote the following to BL on 17 October 2022: &quot;After a lot of manipulation I was able to evert what seems like a rather tubular vesica bearing a single row of non-deciduous cornuti tightly arranged like in a &quot;gun charger&quot; mode. The vesica seems to be somewhat convoluted at the base (I do not think it an artefact), then straight. The cornuti are extended all over the length of the vesica except in the terminal part, close to the genital opening. The basal convolution is interesting and, if my surmise is correct, should be correlated with some structure in the female, either a pocket, broadening sclerotisation or, in some cases, some corrugated area allowing expansion during insertion.&quot; The basal convoluted bend at the base of the vesica reflects the shape of the basal section of the female ductus bursae, which is indeed corrugated (Figs
