Phylogenetic and species delimitation results, based on the COI dataset: the maximum likelihood phylogram, along with the results of various species delimitation methods. Taxon names in bold represent the new species described here. Morphology-based species concepts are indicated by their respective Latin names. Each horizontal bar represents a putative species as inferred by a molecular method. The preferred delimitation results are highlighted in color, others are in grayscale. Different colors correspond to recognized species groups as explained in Zamani et al. (2025).	Figure 5.
