status

 

Staphylus (Vulga) satrap Evans, 1953 View in CoL is a species distinct from Staphylus (Vulga) saxos Evans, 1953

Described as a subspecies of Staphylus saxos Evans, 1953 (type locality in Colombia: Cali), S. s. satrap Evans, 1953 (type locality in Bolivia) is not monophyletic with it and is genetically differentiated from it at the level characteristic of distinct species ( Fig. 5 View Figure 5 ), e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 4.4% (29 bp). Moreover, Evans (1953) mentions and illustrates differences in genitalia that suggest species level of these taxa. Therefore, we propose that Staphylus (Vulga) satrap Evans, 1953 , new status, is a species distinct from Staphylus (Vulga) saxos Evans, 1953 , and the latter becomes monotypic.
