Pavićević (CI); 4 3, do., 16.VI.1984; 1 3, do., 31.VII.1990; 1 3, Suva Planina, Tri Lokve, 1540m, 8.VI.–25.IX.1987, leg. M. Stevanović (CI); 1 3, 1 Ƥ, Stara Planina, leg. D. Pavićević (CI in alcohol).

Discussion. The specimens have been studied to compare individuals from Durmitor with nominate P. affinis . The results are already discussed above. Measurements and morphometrical data are summarised in Tabs. 5–6 . Six males and two females from Šar Planina (leg. D. Pavićević in CI), the type locality of P. poecilus Ramme, 1951 , are little smaller than specimens from eastern Serbia and Romania. Otherwise they appear to agree quite well with nominate P. affinis . But we do not have any sound recordings of them.

FIGURE 6. Comparison of different species of the Poecilimon affinis / ornatus - group [cluster-analysis, distance metric is Euclidean distance, single linkage method (nearest neighbour) based on population means]. Populations studied: P. affinis (RO—Mehadia, Romania; SR—eastern Serbia), P. a. dinaricus (Durmitor), P. ornatus (Mt. Stivo, Italy; Obir, Austria; song parameters partly after Heller 1988), P. pseudornatus (Durmitor; Tara Mt.), P. nonveilleri (Durmitor), P. rumijae (Mt. Rumija, Montenegro). A, cluster using the morphometrical data " scapus: fastigium verticis x 100 " (of male and female), " pronotum length: width at apex x 100 (of male), " postfemur length of male and female ", " ovipositor length ", Euclidean distance 0 – 20; B, cluster using data of the stridulatory vein " number of stridulatory teeth ", " change from small to large teeth (lower and upper values) ", " presence of a bump on the stridulatory vein " (presence = 100, absence = 0), Euclidean distance 0 – 100; C, combination of A and B, Euclidean distance 0 – 50; D, cluster using song characteristics " syllable duration ", " duration of the pronounced final part of the syllable (if any) ", " main frequency below 20 kHz ", Euclidean distance 0 – 100.
