Treatment

Astraptes synecdoche sp. nov.

Type locality. Costa Rica, Alajuela Prov. Area de Conservacion Guanacaste, Sector Cacao, Sendero Nayo , 10.924 ° N, 85.47 ° W, 1090 m GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis. The species may be differentiated from other members of the Astraptes fulgerator complex by the following combination of character states of the DNA barcode: 220C; 361T.

Holotype. Voucher 00-SRNP-10415 , deposited at the University of Pennsylvania.

Note: This species corresponds to the OTU ‘YESSEN’ of Hebert et al. (2004).

Etymology. The name synecdoche is a noun in apposition. Synecdoche is a rhetorical device by which a part stands for the whole, a concept which reflects the presumed relationship between the DNA barcode and the organism
