Boppré, Michael, Grados, Juan, Laguerre, Michel & Monzón, Julio, 2020, Vanewrightia gen. nov. - A Highly Variable Taxon of Neotropical Ctenuchina (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Arctiini) Revealed by Behavioral Traits, Insect Systematics and Diversity 4 (5), No. 4, pp. 1-19 : 9

Vanewrightia sp. nov., aff. kiesela Boppré

Barcoding has revealed two specimens 3.8% distant from V. kiesela ―but almost identical in appearance―which have received BIN BOLD:AEA5711 ( Fig. 13 ). For reasons given above, we postpone to formally name this operational taxonomic unit until more specimens are available for an adequate description.

Fig. 13. Neighbor-joining distance tree of 27 COI sequences of Vanewrightia gen.nov. and 38 of its neighbors from BOLDSYSTEMS (2019) with BIN BOLD codes. Distances (normalized to 1) are given below each branch (omitted if <0.002) and bootstrap supports above each branch (in bold, only if>70%) obtained with MEGA7 (Kumar et al. 2016). For Vanewrightia, the collection sites are highlighted by colors. Scale bar = 1%.
