Phlebodes sifax Evans, 1955 View in CoL is a species distinct from Phlebodes campo (E. Bell, 1947)

Genomic sequencing of Phlebodes campo sifax Evans, 1955 (type locality in Brazil: Amazonas) and Phlebodes campo campo (E. Bell, 1947) (type locality in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro, holotype sequenced as NVG-18025F03) reveals prominent genetic differentiation between them ( Fig. 6): e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 4.1% (27 bp). Therefore, we propose that the former is a species-level taxon Phlebodes sifax Evans, 1955 , new status.
