The University of Michigan, American Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, and Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia allowed D.N.R. access to their collections. S. Pearson dissected many of the specimens. D. Elder entered and edited data. C. Ghatambor prepared Figs. 1 and 2. The Reznick lab group critically reviewed the manuscript. R.Vrijenhoek provided DNA samples. We dedicate this paper to the memory of John A. Moore.
