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.
