Iphisa brunopereira Mello, Recoder, Fouquet, Rodrigues & Nunes |
Remarks:
Previously regarded as a population of elegans.
Specimens from Ecuador and Peru, tentatively assigned to brunopereira by Mello, Recoder, Fouquet, Rodrigues & Nunes (2023), need molecular confirmation.
These authors also listed paratypes from Mato Grosso, but plotted no localities in their map, suggesting that the assignment of these specimens to this species needs verification.
Distribution:
Brazil
(Amazonas,
Mato Grosso),
Colombia,
Ecuador.

Iphisa elegans soini Dixon |
|
| |
Iphisa soini Mello, Recoder, Fouquet, Rodrigues & Nunes 2023 |
Remarks:
Previously regarded as a subspecies of elegans (e.g., Dixon 1974).
Raised to species status by Mello, Recoder, Fouquet, Rodrigues & Nunes (2023).
Provisionally considered present in Amazonas, Brazil, and Bolivia (paratype), however, this needs confirmation by molecular studies.
Distribution:
Bolivia,
Brazil
(Acre,
