[QUOTE="Christian, post: 9528, member: 62"] Hi. Orin wrote: "The male genitalia of 'both' are the same" I did not manage to look at the genitalia yet. However, there are some distributional and morphological differences, so it would be premature to reject [I]wahlbergii[/I]. However, if you know a paper on this issue I am not aware of, please let me know. There are a few cases where the male genitalia of two closely related species are not distinguishable, however, the femelas clearly show differences. I remember a case in the genus [I]Catasigerpes[/I]. So, just a generic revision may clarify the situation (or not...). The possibilities are: 1. the three species are maintained; 2. at least [I]wahlbergii [/I]may become a subspecies of [I]ocellata[/I]; 3[I]. ocellata [/I]is the only, very variable species.
