status

 

Pares viridiceps (Mabille, 1889) , reinstated status, new combination

Considered a junior subjective synonym of Thoon modius (Mabille, 1889) by Evans (1955), the holotype of Proteides viridiceps Mabille, 1889 (type locality Panama) is not monophyletic with it and is instead sister to Pares maritza (Nicolay, 1980) (type locality Ecuador) ( Fig. 13 View Figure 13 ). It differs from P. maritza by 2.3% (15 bp) in COI barcode. Therefore, we reinstate P. viridiceps as a species-level taxon and transfer it to Pares Grishin, 2019 (type species Phlebodes pares Bell, 1959 ), forming Pares viridiceps (Mabille, 1889) , reinstated status, new combination.
