FIGURE 15. PCA summarizing variation in altitude and eight bioclimatic variables in localities of O. typus s.l. (48 localities). Asterisks denote type localities. Symbols of localities assigned to revised taxa given in lower case as follows: "ty" = typus s.s. (Ethiopia: Simien Mts, Mt Guna); "a" = yaldeni: Sp. A (Ethiopia: Bale Mts); "ft" = fortior (Ethiopia: Charada (type locality), Beletta and Sheka Forests); "b" = helleri: Sp B (Ethiopia: Bale Mts, Arussi Plateau); "c" = cheesmani: Sp. C (Ethiopia: Dangila – Debra Marcos); "d" = dartmouthi (Ruwenzori Range); "j" = jacksoni (Mt Elgon); "o" = orestes (Kenya: Aberdares and Mt Kenya); "th" = thomasi (Kenya: Uasin Gisho Plateau); "u" = uzungwensis (Malawi: Nyika Plateau and Tanzania: Southern Rift and Eastern Arc); "z" = zinki (Mt Kilimanjaro). Symbols of localities from Ethiopia, which could not be unambiguously assigned to revised taxa are labelled in upper case as follows: AN = Ankober; BK = Bongke; CH = Chenca; CL = Chilalo (type locality of helleri); H = Hirna; M = Malka (type locality of malkensis); JM = Oromiya, Jimma.
