Two first dimensions of the colour space resulting from a correspondence analysis on melanisation described by two binary variables of the extreme light and dark coloration for each body part. Intermediate modalities were integrated using a fuzzy coding. Coloured spots described the mean values of each colour morphs (see Fig. 1). Colour forms: N =  nigrithorax. K =  karnyi. C =  celebensis. V =  velutina. U =  flavitarsus. W =  variana. T =  timorensis. R =  ardens. A =  auraria. F =  floresiana. D =  divergens. P =  pruthii. B =  sumbana.
