Comparative descriptions
Recently I've "finished" the Apodrosus argentatus morphological description and I'm using it for describe A. wolcotti. When changes are being made, it is necessary to go back into A. argentatus traits. This way, new characters are appearing by comparison. The problem, maybe you can become excesively meticulous on the descriptions... but really, until now I can't know when stop!
