Table 2.

Character loadings and cumulative proportion of variance for Principal Components. The analysis was based on eight morphometric variables of adult males of Tepuihyla tuberculosa comb. n., Tepuihyla shushupe sp. n., Tepuihyla edelcae, Tepuihyla obscura, and Tepuihyla rodriguezi. PCs 6–8 not shown. Abbreviations are: SVL; FOOT; HL; HW; ED; TD; TL; FL.
