Poecilimon zonatus Bolívar (ORTHOPTERA, TETTIGONIIDAE) REVISITED: GENETIC DATA REVEALED TWO NEW SPECIES AND ONE NEW SUBSPECIES
Abstract
Poecilimon Fischer (Orthoptera,
Tettigoniidae) is the most
species-rich genus of the respective order and family in Anatolia. However,
intrageneric diversity still needs to be documented. Poecilimon zonatus Bolívar is a species with a relatively wide
range of distribution in Anatolia compared to other congeners. The present
study aims to examine the diversity of P.
zonatus using an integrated approach. The diversity of the species was documented using
data based on DNA sequences, male calling song and morphology. Automatic
species delimitation tests applied to genetic data revealed a cryptic diversity
in P. zonatus complex and suggested
two new species and one new subspecies. The song data supported the new species,
but morphology remained less productive in this respect. The new taxa defined
in the light of the obtained data are; Poecilimon
isozonatus
sp. n., Poecilimon ciplaki sp. n. as Poecilimon ciplaki ciplaki subsp. n. and
Poecilimon ciplaki denizliensis subsp.
n. These taxa together with P. zonatus
were considered a species complex within P.
zonatus group. The phylogenetic tree produced from nad2 gene sequences supported the following
relationships of P. tauricola + (P.
ciplaki + (P. zonatus +P.
isozonatus))
relationship.
