Table 1. Morphometric data on Phialina pupula (Boise population).

Characteristicsa	Mean	M	SD	SE	CV	Min	Max	n
a Data based on protargol-impregnated and semi-contracted to extended specimens. Measurements in µm. CV, coefficient of variation (%); M – median; Max – maximum; Mean – arithmetic mean; Min – minimum; n – number of individuals investigated; SD – standard deviation; SE – standard error of arithmetic mean.
