AI Article Synopsis
- - The study identifies a new species, Thaides ramoni Prieto, sp. nov., that coexists with Thaeides theia in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta using DNA barcoding and wing patterns as evidence.
- - Detailed illustrations of the adult specimens and their genital structures are provided to distinguish between the two species based on molecular and morphological features.
- - The research also discusses taxonomic aspects of species within the Thaeides muela group, contributing to a better understanding of their classification.
Article Abstract
We present evidence from DNA barcodes, wing pattern and distribution to support the hypothesis that an entity flying in sympatry with Thaeides theia in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, is an undescribed biological species named herein as Thaides ramoni Prieto, sp. nov. Adult specimens and genital structures are illustrated for both species along with molecular and morphological diagnostic characters. In addition, we present some considerations about the taxonomy of the species in the Thaeides muela group.
