ALLOCAPNIA MINIMA View in CoL View at ENA GROUP

Our decision to remove A. minima from the A. forbesi group and place it as the solitary member of this group is discussed above. Ross & Ricker (1971) indicated the tenuous nature of their assignment by linking the species to A. maria by a dashed line in their phylogenetic chart ( Ross & Ricker 1971, Fig. 86 View Figs ). Ross & Ricker’s (1971) inclusion of A. minima in the A. forbesi clade was based entirely on the similarity of the female terminalia, a character state that can vary in other species groups of the genus (e.g. A. rickeri group). Allocapnia minima is similar in epiproct armature to members of the A. vivipara (Claassen) group, including A. brooksi Ross 1964 , and A. tennessa Ross & Ricker 1964 (Stark & Kondratieff, unpublished), and may be more closely related to that group than to members of the A. forbesi group.
