03AC2E30C922FFD949EAC7385471FA6B.taxon	discussion	DNA analysis. Partial sequences of the 18 S rRNA (1397 bp) and COX 1 (690 bp) genes were obtained and deposited in GenBank (Accession Nos. PV 037628 and PV 425929, respectively). According to BLAST results, sequence identity with other Agoo species based on 18 S rRNA were 98.07 % with A. xavieri (Acc. MK 443073), 97.78 % with A. luzdenia and A. dahliana (Accs. MN 999709 and MN 472754), 97.50 % with A. keili (Acc. PP 941906), 96.44 % with A. argutiola (Acc. PQ 057204), 95.84 % with A. fulvus (Acc. PP 941909) and 92.69 % with A. beani (Acc. MT 415403). The highest sequence identity with a non- Agoo species was 95.95 % with a Derbe sp. from French Guiana (Acc. DQ 532520). Likewise, sequence identity with other Agoo species based on COX 1 were 86.65 % with A. keili (Acc. PP 942445), 85.06 % with A. fulvus (Acc. PP 942448), 84.42 % with A. luzdenia (Acc. MT 085818), 84.01 % with A. beani (Acc. MT 413388), 83.93 with A. dahliana (Acc. MN 496467), 83.91 % with A. xavieri (Acc. MK 443068) and 82.10 % with A. argutiola (Acc. PQ 053093). The highest sequence identity with a non- Agoo species was 83.78 % with Scolops viridis Ball, 1909 from the United States (Acc. KF 919913). Comparison with A. cocoana, A. galbina, A. palmalopezi, A. rubrimarginatus, and A. spina was limited by these taxa lacking available sequences. Additionally, the placement of A. kizini within Agoo was strengthened by the bootstrap consensus trees generated with Maximum Likelihood (Fig. 4 A – C), with support values for the clade of 94 (COX 1) and 100 (18 S rRNA, concatenated). Remarks. The new taxon is similar to A. dahliana and A. luzdenia based on the general appearance of aedeagus but differs easily from those based on the arrangement of aedeagal spines and body coloration (Fig. 2 A – B).	en	Palma-Cancino, Pablo José, Pinedo-Escatel, J.
