AI Article Synopsis
- A new genus called Catrachia has been identified, along with two new species: Catrachia mariana and Catrachia nica.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicates that Catrachia is a well-supported monophyletic group, meaning its members share a common ancestor.
- This research contributes to the understanding of Melolonthinae beetles found in Honduras and Nicaragua.
Article Abstract
A new genus and two species of Melolonthinae from Honduras and Nicaragua are described. A phylogenetic analysis, carried out using morphological characters, suggests that Catrachia is a strongly supported monophyletic group. Catrachia is therefore established as a new genus, constituted by two new species, Catrachia mariana and Catrachia nica.
