Pelegrina orestes Maddison 1995

Containing group: Pelegrina

Introduction

Resembling the sympatric verecundus but larger and more orange; also differing in the more abrupt angle between the erect portion of the embolus and the base. The lack of a second ramus near the embolic opening makes the placement of this species in Pelegrina tentative.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
