Images showing morphological differences between two species of Mesochorus whose slightly different COI barcodes generate identical amino acids, M. 127 (M. unodossiete) and M.139 (Mesochorus unotresnueve). Note the massive mandibles, relative to the width of the head, and smooth clypeus in M. 127 and compare with the normal mandible and punctate clypeus of M. 139.
