¹See Figure 1.

^*Includes males and females from C. obsoletus sensu stricto, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus and C. dewulfi species (these cannot easily be differentiated by morphology).

^§280 females were identified to species level via multiplex PCR: C. obsoletus s.s. - 69.6%; C. scoticus - 30.4%; C. chiopterus – 0%; C. dewulfi – 0%.
