Spioniades anta Evans, 1953 View in CoL is a species distinct from Spioniades abbreviata (Mabille, 1888)
Genomic sequencing of Spioniades abbreviata anta Evans, 1953 ( type locality in Bolivia) reveals that it is not monophyletic with Spioniades abbreviata (Mabille, 1888) ( type locality Panama: Chiriquí) in the Z chromosome tree ( Fig. 2a) and the two taxa are strongly differentiated genetically, e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 5.6% (37 bp). In addition, their male genitalia and wing shapes differ ( Evans 1953). Therefore, we propose that Spioniades anta Evans, 1953 , new status, is a species-level taxon.
