Although variation of aedeagus is not large, in species where I have studied larger series (see for example "22" and " 23 " in Figure 3, which represent two different sized specimens of the same species, from different localities), it must be kept in mind that the points in Figure 3 do not represent the species, but only one specimen Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
