and aedeagal apex slightly acute. It includes seven species, which are endemic to the Neotropics, ranging freom Mesoamerica to northeastern Argentina. A cladistic analysis was carried out using 16 characters freom external morphology, body vestiture, and male genitalia. The analysis yielded four equally parsimonious cladograms, each with 33 steps, a consistency index of 0.60, and a retention index of 0.53. After successive weighting, a single cladogram resulted, with 105 steps, a consistency index of 0.89, and a retention index of 0.90. According to this cladogram, the species of Entimus follow the sequence: E. arrogans Pascoe, E. granulatus (Linnaeus), E. imperialis (Forster), E. fastuosus (Olivier), E. sastrei Viana (= E. formosus Viana, syn. nov.), E. nobilis (Olivier), and E. excelsus Viana. According to predictions based on phylogenetic and distributional information available, the most likely mode of speciation for four species of the genus is sympatric, whereas E. arrogans and E. granulatus have followed an allopatric mode of speciation, and E. sastrei has followed the centrifugal mode of speciation. |
