Anisochoria verda Evans, 1953 View in CoL , new status

Named by Evans (1953) as a subspecies of Anisochoria minorella Mabille, 1898 (type locality Bolivia) from Ecuador, A. m. verda forms a distinct clade in the genomic tree ( Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ), and their COI barcodes differ by 4.4% (29 bp), in addition to phenotypic differences detailed by Evans (1953), including those in genitalia. Therefore, we elevate it to a species Anisochoria verda Evans, 1953 , new status.
