Integrative taxonomy of cryptic Pachypus chafers using museomics, morphometrics, barcoding, and genomic DNA analysis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Pachypodinae)

Abstract The taxonomy of the endemic Mediterranean genus Pachypus Dejean, 1821 has long been complicated by cryptic diversity and limited morphological differentiation. Based on extensive results from previous studies and new genomic data analyses, we perform here an integrative taxonomic revision o...
