-- 作者： fool12345 -- 發表時間： 2006/03/10 10:13pm Dear Sir, are you Mr. Yen, I have a problem that I want to ask for your help. [i]Paracymoriza taiwanalis[/i] (Wileman & South, 1917) is said maybe a darker ssp. of [i]Paracymoriza distinctalis[/i] (Leech, 1889) in Hsiau Yue Wang & W. Speidel's book "Guide Book to Insects in Taiwan (19)". So I want to know whether both species have some differences, especially in genitalia. Thank you! -- 作者： Zygamann -- 發表時間： 2006/03/11 00:07am excuse me, who are you? -- 作者： fool12345 -- 發表時間： 2006/03/11 04:35pm I am a graduate student from Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. I email to you ever before. My name is Chen Fuqiang (陳付強). -- 作者： Zygamann -- 發表時間： 2006/03/11 11:08pm I am afraid that genitalic structures are not enough to tell if they are different speices or not. Most speices belonging to the prodigalis and distinctalis groups have very simple male genitalia. Without comparing P. bleszynskialis and look at their molecular divergence, I am not convinced of their taxonomic status. By the way, you can simply ignore what Wang & Speidel said in that book because it's an illustrated book. -- 作者： fool12345 -- 發表時間： 2006/03/12 03:44pm Ok. Thank you!
