show levels of similarity to each other and to the other two subspe- 
cies in the range of 0.69-0.78 (Fig. 2). Genetic similarity between 
henroti and nominate tellkampfi (S > 0.96; Table 3) is as great as 
similarity values among local populations within a subspecies. 
Although these two subspecies are the most similar of the four
