DiagnosisDiagnosis: Uma thurmanae is a morphologically cryptic species that doesn’t exhibit any known fixed morphological differences from other species in the complex, but it can be distinguished from those other species both by statistical differences in morphological characters (Table 5, Fig. 3) and in multivariate morphospace (Fig. 4). It can also be distinguished from all other members of the U. notata complex by nucleotide substitutions in three mtDNA loci (Table 8 in Derycke et al. 2020).
