    Description and DNA barcoding of a new Iberian species of Pijnackeria (Scali, 2009) from Sierra Nevada, Spain (Phasmida: Diapheromeridae).
    (Magnolia Press, 2015-12-18) Valero, Pablo; Ortiz, Antonio S.; Zoología y Antropología Física
    Male, female and egg of Pijnackeria recondita sp. n. are described from specimens collected at about 2,000 m in Sierra Nevada (Spain) feeding on Cytisus scoparius. The number of antennae segments in males, the smooth thorax in females and the different sculpturing of the egg capsule are the main differences from the other species of the genus. In addition, DNA barcode sequences (COI and COII) clearly differ from the other Iberian species of the genus. For COI, K2P minim-um distance between the new species and the most morphological related species, Pijnackeria hispanica (Bolívar, 1878), showed a mean of 8%. In the case of COII, comparison with the other species of Pijnackeria, showed a K2P minimum distance range from 8 to 10.5% (mean 9.2%); and comparison with the species of the related genus Leptynia, showed a K2P minimum distance range from 7.1 to 10.5%.

    Integrated taxonomy, phylogeography and conservation in the genus Chelis Rambur, [1866] in the Iberian Peninsula (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae).
    (Spixana Publicher, 2016) Ortiz, Antonio S.; Rubio, Rosa M.; Guerrero, Juan J.; Garre, Manuel; Hausmann, Axel; Zoología y Antropología Física
    The taxonomy of Chelis, a genus distributed within the Palaearctic region, is revised based on morphological and molecular data (DNA barcodes) in the Iberian Peninsula. The neighbour-joining and maximum likelihood trees, combined with adult male genitalia and morphology, support the existence of three species indicating two major lineages, one corresponding to mountainous taxa (Chelis arragonensis and C. cantabrica), with restricted distribution, and the other represented by Chelis maculosa, a taxon with a broad European distribution and a great number of infraspecific taxa. Haplotypic variation is highly concordant with species taxonomy; the variation at a continental scale reveals a significant geographic pattern of haplogroups: C. arragonensis is restricted to the mountains of Central Spain and C. cantabrica is endemic to the Western Cantabrian Mountains. C. maculosa includes several distinct haplotypes with a marked intraspecific genetic divergence (0.79- 1.83 %) and C. simplonica is endemic to the Alps and presents low interspecific divergence from C. cantabrica (1.5 %), requiring further investigation.
