Abstract:Sexually dimorphic structures (ornamentation) on the legs are important diagnostic features for Dolichopus males, whereas females are often morphologically similar and therefore species diagnosis is difficult. To assess the relevance and feasibility of setting diagnostic characters for five sister species of the genus Dolichopus Latreille, 1796, namely D. argyrotarsis, D. lineatocornis, D. pennatus, D. popularis and D. subpennatus, an analysis of morphometric trait was used. Comparison of wing shape by methods… Show more
