Eremobates acuitlapanensis Cushing & Channiago & Brookhart 2018, new combination

Description

Eremobates acuitlapanensis (Vázquez & Gaviño-Rojas 2000) new combination

Eremopus acuitlapanensis Vázquez & Gaviño-Rojas 2000: 227 –228, figs. 1–9

Eremoacosta acuitlapanensis (Vázquez & Gaviño-Rojas 2000): Harvey 2002: 451.

Type material. Holotype male from México: Guerrero, Acuitlapan; collected 13 October 1976; collected by Melgar, Novelo, and Chavarría. Deposited at IBUNAM. One male, one female paratype from same locale, also deposited at IBUNAM. Type examined.

Discussion. The shape of the flagellar groove (Vázquez & Gaviño-Rojas 2000, figs. 2–3, p. 229) and the presence of an apical plumose bristle places the species in the genus Eremobates. The molecular phylogeny of Cushing et al. (2015) supports the placement of this species outside the Eremocosta clade close to other species in Eremobates
