Table 2.

Linear measurements of male forewing sections. Sections are defined in Fig. 2. Section width or length was calculated as the component of interlandmark distance along the anterior-posterior (A-P) or proximal-distal (P-D) axis, respectively. Absolute and relative means ± standard deviations are shown for wdwvV while relative means ± relative standard deviations are shown for wdwgV and wdwlV. Letters denote contrast group for multiple comparisons (Tukey’s HSD, b=8).
