The cryophila group

The following four new species and two probably undescribed species (sp. A and sp. B) form a group characterized by an almost white body with dark eye-spots and a 5-toothed mucro. This grouping may not necessarily have a phylogenetic significance, but the diversity of such similar forms in a limited mountainous area is notable.
