Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Departments of Biophysics and Biochemistry University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 5323 Harry Hines Blvd., Dallas, TX, 75390 - 9050 USA text Insecta Mundi 2022 2022-02-25 2022 921 1 135 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.6392056 1942-1354 6392056 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 ). 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 .
