The genus Pseudolycoriella Menzel & Mohrig, 1998 (Diptera, Sciaridae) in New Zealand Author Köhler, Arne text Zootaxa 2019 2019-12-12 4707 1 1 69 journal article 24541 10.11646/zootaxa.4707.1.1 7130e278-109a-4da2-b2e7-adeca14b5c77 1175-5326 3587155 3C00FB35-708D-4FF0-94C2-B15BD2A1F37A Pseudolycoriella sp. II Material studied. 1♀ , New Zealand : South Island , Canterbury , Selwyn , Cass , Middle Bush , 17.11.1998 , Malaise trap , leg. P.M. Johns ( SDEI , SDEI-Dipt-0000745) . Genetic distances. The nearest neighbour of the COI-sequence of Psl . sp. II is Psl . orite , diverging by a minimum of 10.89%. The one successfully sequenced 28S sequence is identical to those of Psl . zealandica and Psl . aotearoa . Discussion. The molecular analysis of the female specimen SDEI-Dipt-0000745 revealed an isolated cluster for all three genetic markers, and consequently a well separated cluster in the consensus tree shown in Figure 61 . Therefore, the presence of a new and undescribed species is very likely, but without conspecific male specimens a reasonable description allowing meaningful comparisons with other Pseudolycoriella species is not possible.
