CARPOSINA NEW SPECIES 11 ( FIGS 2E , 3E )

Material examined: United States: Hawaiian Islands: Hawaii: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Desolation Trail , 929 m, N19.36880 W155.3674. ♂ (slide LB 36♂). D Rubinoff & A Kawahara. UHIM .

Remarks: This specimen has unique genitalia and a wing pattern unlike the other species near it in Figure 1 , but the specimen is somewhat rubbed. Without additional material, we do not feel a full description is warranted at this time. The designation as new species 11 follows the sequence initiated by Zimmerman (1978).

Figures

Figure 1. Phylogentic tree using Bayesian inference for Carposina sampled in this study, based on two nuclear and one mitochondrial gene regions for almost every taxon (see Tables S1 and S2 for exceptions). Posterior probabilities are listed next to nodes; bootstrap support values are shown when> 50 and congruent with the Bayesian analysis. An estimate of time of colonization of Hawaii is given for both fast and slow estimates of COI evolution (see Methods). Tips are labelled with species, general localities, specimen codes and host-plant associations when known (C, Campanulaceae; Er, Ericaceae; Myrt, Myrtaceae; Ro, Rosaceae; Sapo, Sapotaceae; unk, unknown).
