I would personally call the first increta, the second ovata and the third
haesitata, but I'm pretty sure LaFontaine and Wagner would call the first ovata
b/c of the brown reniform. I can't believe that two phenotypic traits (the non
ovate shape of the basal area and the dark triangle at the anal angle) vary
between species, while the third trait (brown reniform) doesn't.
