Taxonomy— Hexapleomera Dudich, 1931

Molecular data

Six West Beach Hexapleomera specimen isolates were amplified and sequenced—two sexually dimorphic males, two preparatory males, and two mature females. The sequences were identical, with the exception of one which differed by one nucleotide. The sequences for three of the specimens were submitted to GenBank, two of which were identical (655 nt; GenBank Accession Nos. MW980882 , MW980883 ) and the sequence that differed by one nucleotide (655 nt; GenBank Accession No. MW980884 ).

The West Beach CO1 sequence matches that for Hexapleomera sasuke Tanabe & Kakui, 2019 over the 655 nt length published for that species (GenBank Accession No. LC474857.1). There is also agreement with the short- er 389 nt length published by Larsen et al. (2014) for Zeuxo turkensis Larsen, 2014 (GenBank Accession No. KF928323.1).
