Telegonus cassius ( Evans, 1952) , confirmed status

We confirm that Telegonus cassius ( Evans, 1952) (type locality Costa Rica) is a species distinct from T. galesus , as listed in Warren et al. (2016), because the COI barcodes between the two taxa differ by 6.5% (43bp) in the presence of phenotypic differences described by Evans ( Evans 1952). To stabilize nomenclature, N.V.G. hereby designates a syntype in the ZMHB collection bearing the following seven labels || Origin. || Chanchamayo | Thamm || Teleg. Galesus | ♂ Mab. || Galesus | Mab. || Galesus | Mab. || [barcode image] http://coll.mfn-berlin. de/u/ | e1f9cf || DNA sample ID: | NVG-15031B07 | c/o Nick V. Grishin || as the lectotype of Telegonus galesus Mabille, 1888 .
