MORPHOLOGY AND TAXONOMY OF ADULT MALES 



sides ; the vertical position is referred to as " level " above which the species is 

 located. This way of plotting was suggested by Dr. K. Boratynski. 



In the Taxon programme the usual correlation coefficient matrix is generated 

 (each diagonal value = i), and a series of clustering cycles are made. After each 

 cycle, a new correlation coefficient matrix is recalculated. In the employed weighted 

 pair-group method (WPGM) only the two most highly correlated stems are allowed 

 to join at each clustering cycle. Members of a cluster include either the individual 

 species or the smaller clusters to form another cluster of a higher rank. The 

 growing clusters join the more remote relatives at a lower point of similarity (or 

 correlation coefficient). The dendograms of Figs. A, B, C, D and E are prepared to 

 illustrate the values of correlation coefficient at which the OTU's or their groups 

 are joined together.
