“…Divergence times estimated here support an older diversification history than that of most Eurasian Lepidoptera (Huemer et al, 2014(Huemer et al, , 2018; but see Gaytán et al, 2020), as most splits were estimated to have occurred before the last glacial cycle (~0.1 Ma). This is consistent with previous studies that suggest that around 70% of sister species pairs of Neotropical butterflies diverged along the Pleistocene (Brower & Garzón-Orduña, 2020;Garzón-Orduña et al, 2014;Matos-Maraví, 2016). Since the Andean forests (and the adjacent Amazonia) have been connected with the Atlantic Forest through different and not mutually exclusive spatiotemporal routes throughout the Neogene and Quaternary (Batalha-Filho et al, 2013;Lavinia et al, 2019;Prates, Xue, et al, 2016;Trujillo-Arias et al, 2020), our results do not reject the possibility of older diversification events for the butterfly fauna of these forests, especially considering the fact that here we focused on intraspecific splits instead of dating speciation events or crown group ages (Blandin & Purser, 2013;Elias et al, 2009).…”

“…Butterflies are one of the most conspicuous, widespread groups of animals in the Neotropics, with a species richness that accounts for ~40% of the global diversity of the group (~20,000 species; Lamas, 2004). This, in combination with their close association to vegetation and high sensitivity to environmental change, has made them a model group for the study of diversification patterns in the region (Bonebrake et al, 2010; Brower & Garzón‐Orduña, 2020; Ebel et al, 2015; Lamas, 2004). However, most previous studies on Neotropical butterflies have examined Amazonia or the tropical Andes (Blandin & Purser, 2013; Chazot et al, 2016; Elias et al, 2009; Garzón‐Orduña et al, 2014; Penz et al, 2015).…”

Previous studies of butterfly diversification in the Neotropics have focused on Amazonia and the tropical Andes, while southern regions of the continent have received little attention. To address the gap in knowledge about the Lepidoptera of temperate South America, we analysed over 3000 specimens representing nearly 500 species from Argentina for a segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. Representing 42% of the country's butterfly fauna, collections targeted species from the Atlantic and Andean forests, and biodiversity hotspots that were previously connected but are now isolated. We assessed COI effectiveness for

“…Despite comprising the greatest diversity of any group of organisms, insects are the subject of relatively few biogeographic studies within the neotropics outside of Lepidoptera (e.g. Garzón-Orduña et al, 2014;Chazot et al, 2018;Brower and Garzón-Orduña, 2020) or Hymenoptera (e.g. Branstetter & Longino, 2019;2022;Barrera et al, 2022).…”

TheNotomicrus trailispecies group (Coleoptera: Noteridae) is a lineage of aquatic beetles distributed throughout South America and extends into Mexico and the West Indies. Previous research has revealed a species complex within this group, with multiple distinct clades sharing overlapping distributions and lineages attributed toN. trailiand the closely relatedN. gracilipesrecovered as polyphyletic. Here, we perform targeted capture of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) to examine relationships and patterns of evolution within theN. trailigroup. First, we use short-read whole genome sequencing of four noterid genera to design a noterid-specific UCE probe set (Noteridae 3.4Kv1) targeting over 3,400 unique loci. Using this probe set, we capture UCE data from population-level sampling of 44trailigroup specimens from across the Neotropics, with an emphasis on the Guiana Shield where distributions of several putativeN. trailigroup populations overlap. We subject the resulting data matrix to various trimming and data completeness treatments and reconstruct the phylogeny with both concatenated maximum likelihood and coalescent congruent methods. We recover robust phylogenetic estimates that identify several phylogenetically distinct clades within thetrailigroup that share overlapping distributions. To test for the genetic distinctiveness of populations, we extract single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from UCE alignments and examine patterns of genetic clustering using principal component analyses (PCAs) and STRUCTURE. Population genetic results are highly concordant with recovered phylogenetic structure, revealing a high degree of co-ancestry shared within identified clades, contrasting with limited ancestry sharing between clades. We recover a pattern consistent with repeated diversification and dispersal of thetrailigroup in the Neotropics, highlighting the efficacy of a tailored UCE approach for facilitating shallow-scale phylogenetic reconstructions and population genetic analyses, which can reveal novel aspects of coleopteran phylogeography.

Augochlorini comprise 646 described bee species primarily distributed in the Neotropical region. According to molecular and morphological phylogenies, the tribe is monophyletic and subdivided into seven genus groups. Our main objective is to propose a revised phylogeny of Augochlorini based on a comprehensive data set including fossil species as terminals and new characters from the internal skeleton. We also aim to develop a total-evidence framework incorporating a morphological-partitioned homoplasy approach and molecular data and propose a detailed biogeographic and evolutionary scenario based on ancestor range estimation. Our results recovered Augochlorini and most genus groups as monophyletic, despite some uncertainties about monophyly of the Megalopta and Neocorynura groups. The position of the cleptoparasite Temonosoma is still uncertain. All analyses recovered Augochloropsis s.l. as related to the Megaloptidia group. Internal characters from the head, mesosoma and sting apparatus provided important synapomorphies for most internal nodes, genus groups and genera. Augochlorini diversification occurred in the uplands of the Neotropical region, especially the Brazilian Plateau. Multiple dispersals to Amazonia, Central America and North America with returns to the Atlantic endemism area were recovered in our analysis. Total evidence, including morphological partitioning, was shown to be a reliable approach for phylogenetic reconstruction.
