Table 5.

Summary of measurements of 13 morphometric variables for males of the Ophion scutellaris species group. Morphometric variables are defined in Table 1. The mean ± standard deviation for each variable is given, followed by the range. cla = clave; aur = aureus; kea = keala; ido = idoneus; D, E refer to unplaced specimens; the number of specimens measured for each species is in parentheses.
