Abstract: Highlights: [•] Maximum parsimony tree separates C. obsoletus and C. scoticus from C. chiopterus and C. dewulfi. [•] Wing shape of the C. scoticus sample exhibited large specific variability. [•] Morphometric analyses show a high degree of shape convergence between C. obsoletus and C. scoticus.
