Counts cover images whose name resolved to a species accepted by Catalogue of Life, so they can be lower than the totals on the Collections page. Totals and percentages compare them with the accepted families, genera and species Catalogue of Life places in this taxon.

Morphospace

Variation in species coloration mapped onto the latent space. Each species is represented by two points, one for its dorsal side and one for its ventral side. The farther apart the dorsal and ventral points are, the more different the two sides are in coloration.
