Alphomelon citroloma Deans, 2003

Figs 18A-E, 19A-C, 20A-F

Distribution.

Argentina, Belize*, Bolivia, Brazil (PE, RJ, RO), Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru*, Trinidad & Tobago, Venezuela.

Biology.

No data.

DNA barcoding.

No BIN but four partial barcodes (109-234 bp) available.

Notes.

In the CNC collection many specimens from Central and South America look morphologically similar to A. citroloma . However, they differ in coloration, sculpture of T2, and the number of spines on the tarsal claws. We suspect additional cryptic species may be discovered in the future when the South American fauna is better studied and more DNA barcodes become available.
