Here, we study the <i>Poecilimon bosphoricus</i> (PB) species group to understand how the bush crickets' diversification and the regions' complex history are coupled. Specifically, using sequences of two mitochondrial and two nuclear gene segments from over 500 individuals for a comprehensive set of taxa with extensive geographic sampling, we infer the phylogenetic and geographic setting of species divergence. In addition, we use the molecular data to examine hypothesized species boundaries that were defined morphologically. Our analyses of the timing of divergence confirm the recent origin of the PB complex, indicating its diversification coincided with the dynamic geology and climate of the Pleistocene. Moreover, the geography of divergence suggests a history of fragmentation followed by admixture of populations, suggestive of a ring species. However, the evolutionary history based on genetic divergence conflicts with morphologically defined species boundaries raising the prospects that incipient species divergences may be relatively ephemeral. As such, the morphological differences observed in the PB complex may not to be sufficient to have prevented homogenizing gene flow in the past. Alternatively, with the recent origin of the complex, the lack of time for lineage sorting may underlie the discord between morphological species boundaries and genetic differentiation.

Additional nomenclatural acts are as follows: &lt;i&gt;Chelyoxenus&lt;/i&gt; Hubbard is downgraded to a subgenus of &lt;i&gt;Geomysaprinus&lt;/i&gt; Ross, thus &lt;i&gt;Geomysaprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Chelyoxenus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Nessus&lt;/i&gt; Reichardt is transferred from a subgenus of &lt;i&gt;Hypocaccus&lt;/i&gt; C. Thomson to a subgenus of &lt;i&gt;Hypocacculus&lt;/i&gt; Bickhardt, thus &lt;i&gt;Hypocacculus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Nessus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. rest.&lt;/b&gt; The following taxa &lt;i&gt;Paraphilothis&lt;/i&gt; Vienna, &lt;i&gt;Styphrus&lt;/i&gt; Motschulsky, &lt;i&gt;Xerosaprinus&lt;/i&gt; Wenzel, &lt;i&gt;Lophobregmus&lt;/i&gt; Wenzel, &lt;i&gt;Vastosaprinus&lt;/i&gt; Wenzel, &lt;i&gt;Auchmosaprinus&lt;/i&gt; Wenzel, &lt;i&gt;Hemisaprinus&lt;/i&gt; Kryzhanovskij &amp; Reichardt, &lt;i&gt;Reichardtia&lt;/i&gt; Wenzel and &lt;i&gt;Australopachylopus&lt;/i&gt; Lackner &amp; Leschen are all downgraded into subgenera of &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; Erichson. Thus, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Paraphilothis&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Styphrus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Xerosaprinus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Vastosaprinus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Auchmosaprinus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Lophobregmus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Hemisaprinus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. rest.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Reichardtia&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Saprinus&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Australopachylopus&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;b&gt;stat. nov.&lt;/b&gt; A new genus, &lt;i&gt;Paraxenus&lt;/i&gt; Lackner &lt;b&gt;gen. nov.,&lt;/b&gt; is proposed for the former South African and Namibian members of the genus &lt;i&gt;Pholioxenus&lt;/i&gt; Reichardt, with the following new combinations: &lt;i&gt;Paraxenus diasi&lt;/i&gt; (Vienna) &lt;b&gt;comb. nov.&lt;/b&gt;; &lt;i&gt;Paraxenus eremicola&lt;/i&gt; (Thérond) &lt;b&gt;comb. nov.&lt;/b&gt;; &lt;i&gt;Paraxenus namibiensis&lt;/i&gt; (Vienna) &lt;b&gt;comb. nov.&lt;/b&gt;; &lt;i&gt;Paraxenus oleolus&lt;/i&gt; (Thérond) &lt;b&gt;comb. nov.&lt;/b&gt;; &lt;i&gt;Paraxenus therondi&lt;/i&gt; (Olexa) &lt;b&gt;comb. nov.&lt;/b&gt;; and &lt;i&gt;Paraxenus uhligi&lt;/i&gt; (Mazur) &lt;b&gt;comb. nov.&lt;/b&gt; Additionally, based on the analysis of the dispersal patterns, &lt;b&gt;Myrmetini&lt;/b&gt; appear to be a bipolar (amphitropical) clade, while &lt;b&gt;Eremosaprinini&lt;/b&gt; appear to be exclusive to the Western Hemisphere. &lt;b&gt;Euspilotini&lt;/b&gt; are strongly represented in the Western Hemisphere, with only a handful of species known from the Palaearctic/Oriental regions. &lt;b&gt;Saprinini&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Hypocaccini&lt;/b&gt; are spread worldwide but ar","PeriodicalId":22126,"journal":{"name":"Systematic Entomology","volume":"49 1","pages":"48-71"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47143396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
