Jemasonia sosia (Mabille, 1878) , stat. rest.

Placed as a subspecies of Jemasonia hewitsonii (Mabille, 1878) by Mielke, Brockmann, and Mielke (2022), Pyrrhopyga [sic] sosia Mabille, 1878 (type locality in Brazil) differs genetically from it at the level characteristic of species ( Fig. 1 ), e.g., their COI barcodes are 2.7% (18 bp) different. Their wing patterns and genitalia differ as well ( Grishin et al. 2014): Jemasonia sosia is the species referred to as “ Jemadia cf. hewitsonii ” in Grishin et al. (2014). Therefore, it is a distinct species, sister to J. hewitsonii : Jemasonia sosia (Mabille, 1878) , stat. rest. However, it is not the species Evans considered “ J. sosia ” ( Evans 1951) . Evans’ “ J. sosia ” is Jemadia mabillei O. Mielke, Brockmann & C. Mielke, 2022 . In Evans (1951), J. sosia was called “ Jemadia hewitsonii brevipennis ”, and the true Jematus gnetus brevipennis (Schaus, 1902) was lumped within his monotypic Jematus gnetus (Fabricius, 1781) .

(aquamarine) The holotypes of species proposed by Orellana ([2010]) are labeled in magenta and highlighted in yellow. Statistical support values are shown at nodes. For each specimen, the name adopted in this work is given first, with comments or previously used name listed in square brackets (if different), supplemented with the DNA sample number, type status (see Materials and Methods for abbreviations) general locality and year it was collected (old means around and prior to the beginning of the 20th century, exact year not specified). See NCBI database entries in the bioproject PRJNA986225 for additional data about these specimens. Synonyms are given in parentheses preceded by “=”. The type status refers to this synonym, if the synonym name is provided.
