Since the paper by
Wang
et al.
(2019)
was published, we now have the COI sequence of
Euroxenus vayssieresi
, the
type
species of the genus, thanks to B. Reynaud and S. Nibouche (CIRAD,
La Réunion
) (GenBank reference
MT318763
). The molecular data of
Euroxenus
used in our molecular analysis, were also completed with partial 18S sequence (GenBank reference
MN165789
), D3–D5 and D6–D7 regions of 28S sequences (respectively referenced in GenBank as
MN266995
,
MN266964
) that were available in
Gnezdilov
et al.
(2020)
.
The COI sequences of the two
type
species of the genera
Duplexissus
and
Euroxenus
differ by 121 bp (17.7%) of a total of 681bp, indicating clearly that the taxa belong to two different genera. The molecular analysis (Bayesian tree) based on combined genes (18S, 28S, COI and Cytb) also supports the validity of the genus
Duplexissus
, which appears as sister to the clade
Euroxenus
+
Tetrichina
(
Fig. 25
). Incidentally, the analysis also strongly supports the placement of
Euroxenus
within a monophyletic
Sarimini
, while it was shown as sister to
Picumna
, both genera sister to a new
Issidae
Issini
clade (Thioniina + Issina)
sensus
Gnezdilov
et al.
(2020
: fig. 1) strangely depicting a polyphyletic
Sarimini
.
Our molecular results are also confirmed by the morphological analysis showing
Duplexissus
differing from
Euroxenus
by several important characters: length of pronotum at middle slightly broader than vertex while obviously narrower than vertex in
Euroxenus
(
Bonfils
et al.
, 2001
, fig. 18); forewing with costal margin slightly convex while strongly convex and curved in
Euroxenus
(
Bonfils
et al.
, 2001
, fig. 22), ScP+RA single versus ScP+RA bifurcating basally in
Euroxenus
(
Bonfils
et al.
, 2001
, fig. 22); hindwing with two terminals in MP but only one in
Euroxenus
(Gnezdilov, 2020, fig. 1), CuA-CuP being adjacent but separate apically while fully fused in one vein in
Euroxenus
(Gnezdilov, 2020, fig. 1); Pcu-A1 merging before mid-length of the wing but only in last third in
Euroxenus
(Gnezdilov, 2020, fig. 1) and A2 lobe wider than Pcu-A1 lobe while thinner in
Euroxenus
(Gnezdilov, 2020, fig. 1). These morphological characters should be added in the diagnosis and description of the genus
Duplexissus
(
Wang
et al.
, 2019
)
to avoid further confusion with
Euroxenus
, although they are easily seen by direct comparison of the figures provided.
