Morphological differentiation of four North American Thanasimus species as inferred by principal component analysis of seven body length measures. The biplot of principal component scores and loadings indicates that T. nubilus are mainly separated from T. undatulus by total body length (L). The inset shows color-coded boxplots of the total body length in mm of the two species. See the material and methods section for explanation of measurement acronyms.
