Thespieus guerreronis (Dyar, 1913) View in CoL is a species distinct from Thespieus dalman (Latreille, [1824])

Genomic sequencing of Thespieus dalmani [sic] guerreronis Dyar, 1913 (type locality in Mexico: Guerrero, syntypes sequenced as NVG-18113F03 and NVG-18113F04), currently a junior subjective synonym of Thespieus dalman (Latreille, [1824]) (type locality in Brazil, lectotype sequenced as NVG-18078F01) reveals prominent genetic differentiation between these two taxa ( Fig. 4): e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 4.3% (28 bp). Therefore, we propose to treat Thespieus guerreronis Dyar, 1913 , new status, as a species.
