Principal components analysis (PCA) of the body and setal measurements of the larvae of Ornithodoros rietcorreai n. sp., Ornithodoros guaporensis, Ornithodoros rioplatensis and Ornithodoros talaje, using the features detailed in Table 4. Morphometric variables for the larvae of O. guaporensis, O. rioplatensis and O. talaje were retrieved from Nava et al. [17]. Each point represents the position of a measured specimen in the reduced morphometric space. a Analysis including O. rietcorreai purebred larvae from homologous crosses of Paraiba (PB) and of Piauí (PI). b Analysis including O. rietcorreai purebred larvae from homologous crosses of Paraíba (PB) and Piauí (PI), and hybrid larvae from heterologous crosses (♂PB × ♀PI; ♂PI × ♀PB)
