BIN (holotype): BOLD:ACF3549.
Diagnosis
Callipia wojtusiaki
septentrionalis
subsp. nov
.
can reliably be separated from the nominate form by the geographical distribution and DNA barcoding only. The uncus of
C. milleri
sp. nov. tends to be narrower than in the more spatula-shaped uncus of
C. wojtusiaki
sp. nov.
COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the nominate species is 0.8%, and the minimum observed distance to
C.milleri
sp. nov.
is 1.0%.
Etymology
This subspecies of
C. wojtusiaki
sp. nov.
is distributed in the northern part of the species’ range and thus named
septentrionalis
from Latin, meaning ‘northern’.
