Entheus pralina Evans, 1952 is a species distinct from Entheus priassus (Linnaeus, 1758)

Genomic analysis reveals that Entheus priassus pralina Evans, 1952 (type locality in Brazil: Espirito Santo) is not sister to and genetically differentiated from Entheus priassus (Linnaeus, 1758) (type locality in Suriname) at the species level (Figs. 31, 50); e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 1.4% (9 bp). This is a comparatively large COI difference for Entheus, e.g., COI barcodes of E. priassus and Entheus curvus Austin, 1997 (type locality in Peru: Loreto) differ by 0.6% (4 bp). Therefore, we propose that Entheus pralina Evans, 1952, stat. nov. is a species distinct from Entheus priassus (Linnaeus, 1758) .
