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
