Paradraculoides catho Framenau, Hamilton, Finston, Humphreys, Abrams, Huey and Harvey 2018: 521 , figs. 6–7. Draculoides catho (Framenau, Hamilton, Finston, Humphreys, Abrams, Huey and Harvey) : Abrams et al. 2019 MPE 106532:

8, fig. 2.

Material examined. Holotype female. AUSTRALIA: Western Australia: Mt Stuart Station, Catho Well, 82.6 km S. of Pannawonica , 22°23’18”S, 116°15’11”E, 13–16 October 2008, troglofauna trap, 20 m, G. Humphreys, M. Menz (Biota Environmental Sciences, CWRC281 P4 T2–1 ) ( WAM T 93192) (DNA: COI, ITS2 ).

Other material. AUSTRALIA: Western Australia: See Framenau et al. (2018).

Diagnosis. Males of Draculoides catho are unknown, and although the setal arrangement on the female flagellum places this species closest to D. trinity , it is currently not possible to differentiate the two species on morphology alone. Draculoides catho can be diagnosed from all other Draculoides species that were sequenced at COI, 12S and ITS2 by the 50bp mini-barcodes shown in Figures 3 , 5 , and 7.

Description. See Framenau et al. (2018).

Remarks. Draculoides catho is known from three localities known as Catho Well, Western Australia ( Fig. 1C ). All specimens were collected from bore holes using troglofauna traps, and were collected from sites less than 3.5 km apart.

Figures

FIGURE 1. Map of an area of the Pilbara described as “West Pilbara” for the purposes of this study, showing the distribution of the named Draculoides species. Inset maps show species distributions in finer detail encompassing areas A: Warramboo, Mesas A, B and C and “BudgieBore”; B: Bungaroo, Mesas G, H, J, K and L; C: Cochrane and Jewell, Kens Bore, Cane and Upper Cane River, Trinity Bore and Catho Well, Mt. Stuart Station; D: Middle Robe, Robe Valley; E: Bungaroo South, West Pit, Buckland Hills and Dragon deposit.

FIGURE 2. Maximum Likelihood tree, based on the reduced dataset. See Methods for details. Each terminal represents a single species or OTU, with named species in bold. Clades are identified using dashed boxes and shaded boxes encompass the species discussed in this study. Nodes with bootstrap support <80 are not shown, except for the common ancestor of the Draculoides radiation.

FIGURE 3. COI mini-barcodes for all Draculoides species including the operational taxonomic units used in Abrams et al. (2019). This barcode is the maximally diagnostic 50 bp fragment of DNA. Genetic variation within species is shown using IUPAC Ambiguity Codes. See Methods for details. The position of the mini-barcode is reported relative to a specimen of Draculoides celatus (WAM T98698, GenBank number MG913085). The blue tree on the left groups minibarcodes which are most similar to each other but does not represent an accurate phylogeny. The coloured bases in the figure are those that differ from the consensus reference sequence.

The position of the mini-barcode is reported relative to a specimen of Draculoides celatus (WAM T98698, GenBank number MG913012). The blue tree on the left groups minibarcodes which are most similar to each other but does not represent an accurate phylogeny. The coloured bases in the figure are those that differ from the consensus reference sequence.
