Revision of the genus Bryopharsos Quate, 1996 (Diptera: Psychodidae) with the description of nine new species

In this study, we revise the genus Bryopharsos and describe nine new species. These include B. curvum Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov., B. gorgona Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov., and B. tetracanthus Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. from Colombia; B. insperatum Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. from Costa Rica; B. asymmetricum Jaume-...

description In this study, we revise the genus Bryopharsos and describe nine new species. These include B. curvum Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov., B. gorgona Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov., and B. tetracanthus Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. from Colombia; B. insperatum Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. from Costa Rica; B. asymmetricum Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. and B. septenacula Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. from Ecuador; B. bitenacula Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. and B. chuspi Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. from Peru; and B. bifidum Jaume-Schinkel sp. nov. from Venezuela. Additionally, we report new geographical records of B. amazonensis Bravo & Araújo, 2019 from Colombia and Ecuador and new records of B. clavigum Quate, 1996, B. claviformosum Quate, 1996, and B. palpiculum Quate, 1996 from Ecuador. These new records correspond to the first report of Bryopharsos from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Furthermore, we provide the first description of a Bryopharsos egg along with the redescription of the female of B. palpiculum. We also make available the first DNA barcodes for several species including Bryopharsos asymmetricum, B. amazonensis, B. clavigum, B. claviformosum, B. palpiculum, and B. septenacula. Lastly, we update the identification key to the known species, present a distribution map of the known taxa, and discuss the potential distribution of the genus in the Neotropical Region using a species distribution model.
