Staphylus veytius H. Freeman, 1969 View in CoL is confirmed a junior subjective synonym of Staphylus tierra Evans, 1953

Genomic sequencing of the holotype of Staphylus veytius H. Freeman, 1969 (type locality in Mexico: Chiapas, sequenced as NVG-18025C06) regarded by Mielke (2005) as a valid species, places it within specimens of Staphylus tierra Evans, 1953 (type locality in Mexico: Guerrero) ( Fig. 35 red within blue), as already suggested by Warren (2000). Therefore, our results support Warren’s hypothesis, and we agree with the treatment of Staphylus veytius H. Freeman, 1969 , syn. conf. as a junior subjective synonym of Staphylus tierra Evans, 1953 .
