Panca fiedleri

Genomic sequencing of the
holotype
of
Ginungagapus fiedleri
Carneiro, O. Mielke & Casagrande, 2015
(type locality in
Brazil
:
Paraná
) (
Fig. 6
maroon) reveals that it is not monophyletic with
Ginungagapus
Carneiro, O. Mielke & Casagrande, 2015
(type species
Euroto schmithi
E. Bell, 1930
) and instead is sister to
Panca steinhauseri
(Dolibaina & A. Warren, 2015)
(type locality in
Ecuador
) within
Panca
Evans, 1955
(type species
Lerodea subpunctuli
Hayward, 1934
) (
Fig. 6
violet). In a morphological phylogeny,
Ginungagapus
and
Artines
Godman, 1901
(type species
Thracides aepitus
Geyer, 1832
) were recovered as sisters (
Carneiro
et al.
2015
). At that time, however,
Artines trogon
Evans, 1955
and
Artines fosca
Evans, 1955
were selected as representatives of
Artines
, two species currently in
Panca
(
Medeiros
et al.
2020
)
and
Eutocus
(combination proposed below), respectively. In this analysis
G. fiedleri
was the first linage to diverge within
Ginungagapus
, being sister of a clade with all remaining species in the genus. In fact,
G. fiedleri
shares several morphological similarities in male and female genitalia with species in
Panca
, suggesting close affinity, which is here corroborated by the genome. Therefore, we propose
Panca fiedleri
(Carneiro, O. Mielke & Casagrande, 2015)
,
comb. nov
.
