Abstract: | "The “crotonis group” of the hawkmoth genus Xylophanes Hübner ([1819]) is reviewed based on wing and body patterns, male genital morphology and DNA barcode sequences. Three new species and two subspecies are described: Xylophanes striatum sp. n. from Central America (Costa Rica, Panama), with a vicariant subspecies, Xylophanes striatum andensis n. ssp. from South America (Colombia and Venezuela to Bolivia); Xylophanes confinis sp. n. (Ecuador and Colombia); Xylophanes emmeli sp. n. (Venezuela) and Xylophanes kiefferi centroamericana ssp. n. (Costa Rica). In addition, Xylophanes boliviana Haxaire & Vaglia, 2004 stat. n., hitherto treated as a subspecies of X. mineti Haxaire & Vaglia, 2004, is raised to species status." |
