Figure 13 in Geometric approaches to the taxonomic analysis of centipede gonopods (Chilopoda: Scutigeromorpha)

Figure 13. Canonical variates ordination of outline semi-landmark data for the gonopod mesarthra of Allothereua serrulata subspecies as assessed by extended eigenshape analysis. Only the first two of the five possible canonical variate axes are shown. As there are only two groups the first canonical variate axes account for all of the observed between-groups shape variation. The second canonical variate axis is shown here in order to illustrate aspects of the overall ordination in the discriminant space. Cross-tabulation analysis (Table 6) indicated that more than 80% of the sample can be assigned to the correct subspecies.
