Remarks

DNA barcodes indicate this is a complex of several similar and variable species. There appear to be multiple species on Block Island based on external appearances, but the specimens collected have not been barcoded yet. All the specimens shown here were among numerous very similar individuals found in a single night and are surely all the same species.
