“…This is evident, for instance, in some applications of Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity (PAE), Brooks Parsimony Analysis (BPA), and phylogeography. The problems begin with the conceptual framework: these methods quite often conduce to naïve and limited interpretations of the phenomena under study, in opposition to a truly Croizatian approach (for comments and criticisms on these subjects, see Brooks and van Veller 2003;Siddall and Perkins 2003;Siddall 2004Siddall , 2005Santos 2005Santos , 2007Santos and Amorim 2007;Garzón-Orduña et al 2008). Here we claim for biogeographical studies that seek robust hypotheses with ongoing higher support.…”

“…Every biogeographical study begins with the delimitation of taxa. Even if one is not working under a cladistic paradigm, phylogenetic patterns are important to obtain monophyletic entities and guarantee the evolutionary significance of the chosen groups (Santos and Amorim 2007).…”

“…But quickly describing alleged 'species' without the proper systematic foundation will result in nothing more than a hodgepodge of names that may not refer to any real units in nature. These names are therefore not only useless for taxonomy itself but also for inferences about character and taxic evolution, historical biogeography, and conservation (Vane-Wright 1996;Wheeler and Platnick 2000;Wheeler 2004;Santos and Amorim 2007). In other words, even though 'quantity' is presently needed from taxonomy, it cannot come at the expense of 'quality', as taxonomic names corresponding to flawed hypotheses of biological entities will compromise the reliability of systematic information for society.…”

“…Such similarities can be confirmed in Schwarz (1932) who cited the classification of this species performed by Ducke in 1916, then considered to be M. eburnea, a subspecies of M. scutellaris, i.e., M. scutellaris eburnea. Santos and Amorim (2007) emphasized that the delimitation of endemic areas depends on the accuracy of phylogenetic information; therefore, it is quite plausible that contradictions will exist when the distribution of a species in a given area is established.…”
