TABLE 2. A list of the measurements and abbreviations used for the morphometric analysis.

Abbreviation	Measurement
AscW	Anterior mesoscutal width. The anatomical line between the anterolateral edges of the mesoscutum dorsal view (measure one half if the specimen is poorly mounted and double).
EHf	Eye frontal height. Longest vertical line between the dorsal and ventral eye margins in frontal view.
EWf	Eye frontal width. Longest horizontal anatomical line between the medial and lateral eye margind in frontal view.
HH	Head height (vertical); Longest vertical line between the dorsal and ventral margin of cranium (not the mandible) in lateral view.
HL	Head length (horizontal line). The longest anatomical line of the cranium that is perpendicular to the ventrolateral portion of the occipital carina in lateral view and extends between the anterior and posterior cranial margins.
HW	Head width. The longest horizontal anatomical line between the lateral cranial margins in frontal view.
IOS	Interorbital space. The shortest anatomical line between the compound eyes in frontal view.
LOL	Lateral ocellar line. Shortest anatomical line between median and lateral ocelli.
MscL	Mesoscutal length. The longest median anatomical line of the mesoscutum.
MsclL	Mesoscutellar length. The longest median anatomical line of the mesoscutellum.
OCL	Ocello-clypeal line. The longest distance between the median ocellus and the distal clypeal margin (the head has to be in a position with the maximum median anatomical line of the cranium).
OOL	Ocello-ocular line. Shortest anatomical line between eye and lateral ocellus.
PcL	Petiole neck length. The median length of petiole neck.
PcW	Shortest width of petiole neck.
PedL	Median anatomical line of the pedicel.
POL	Posterior ocellar line. Shortest anatomical line between lateral occeli.
PscW	Posterior mesoscutal width. The longest transverse anatomical line of the mesoscutum.
ScaL	Median anatomical line of scape.
