Mnasinous Godman, 1900
status

 

Mnasinous Godman, 1900 View in CoL is a subgenus of Methionopsis Godman, 1901

A monotypic genus Mnasinous Godman, 1900 (type and the only species Mnasinous patage Godman, 1900 ) is sister to Methionopsis Godman, 1901 (type species Methionopsis modestus Godman, 1901 ) and it show neither genetic ( Fig. 16 View Figure 16 ) nor phenotypic distinction to justify a monotypic genus. Indeed, the characteristic structure of the junction between harpe and ampulla is similar in M. patage and M. cinnamomea . Therefore we suggest that Mnasinous is a subgenus, new status. All other species currently included in Methionopsis belong to the nominotypical subgenus.
