We test for congruence of {\textquoteright}traditionally{\textquoteright} identified morphospecies with species inferred through parsimony networks, distance-based clustering and the ultrametric tree-based generalized mixed yule-coalescent (GMYC) approach. For that purpose, we sequenced two variable fragments of mitochondrial DNA (CO1 and 16S) for a total of 791 specimens in 217 species of Cryptorhynchinae. Parsimony networks, morphology-calibrated distance clusters and the different tree-based species inferences all achieved low congruence with morphospecies, at best 60\%. Although the degree of match with morphospecies was often similar for the different approaches, the composition of clusters partially varied. A barcoding gap was absent in morphospecies-oriented distances as well as for GMYC species clusters. This demonstrates that not only erroneous taxonomic assignments, incomplete lineage sorting, hybridization, or insufficient sampling can compromise distance-based identification, but also differences in speciation rates and uneven tree structure. The initially low match between morphospecies and the different molecular species delineation methods in this case study shows the necessity of combining the output of various methods in an integrative approach. Thereby we obtain an idea about the reliability of the different results and signals, which enables us to fine-tune sampling, delineation technique and data collection, and to identify species that require taxonomic revision.

Based on the phylogenetic tree and further data, a number of taxonomic changes is presented: two new species are described, Echinodera montana, sp. nov. from the Canaries (Fuerteventura) and Echinodera bargouensis, sp. nov. from Tunisia. Five species are declared to be synonyms: Echinodera gomerensis Stuben, 2000, syn. nov. = Echinodera praedicta Germann \& Stuben, 2006, syn. nov. = Echinodera pseudohystrix Stuben, 2000; Ruteria bellieri epirica Wolf, 2001, syn. nov. = Echinodera tyrrhenica Caldara, 1978, syn. nov. = Acalles bellieri Reiche, 1860; Echindera troodosi Wolf, 2010, syn. nov. = Echinodera cyprica Stuben, 2010. The subgenus Echinodera (Dieckmannia) Stuben, 1998 is a synonym of Echinodera s. str. The genus Ruteria is again declared a subgenus of Echinodera: Echinodera (Ruteria) Roudier, 1954 stat. rev.

Comparing the aedeagi along a transect from Mont Pilat (Dep. Loire) to Mont Saint-Martin North of Grenoble (Dep. Isere), a cline becomes apparent that raises doubts about the species status of Acalles temperei. These results, obtained by comparative phenotypic examination, are corroborated in a preliminary set of molecular genetic analyses. The latter either hint the existence of a hybrid zone or indicate that Acalles parvulus and Acalles temperei constitute a single, geographically structured species. The molecular results for Kyklioacalles roboris (Curtis, 1834) and the recently resynonymized species Kyklioacalles navieresi (Boheman, 1837) are very different. DNA sequence analysis of the mitochondrial CO1 and 16S genes and of the nuclear 28S gene showed that Kyklioacalles navieresi and Kyklioacalles roboris likely represent two individual, but closely related species.}, keywords = {Acalles parvulus, Acalles temperei, Kyklioacalles navieresi, Kyklioacalles roboris}, isbn = {1615-3472}, url = {http://www.curci.de/Inhalt.htm}, author = {Stueben, Peter E. and Astrin, Jonas J.} } @article {5163, title = {Molecular phylogeny in {\textquoteright}nano-weevils{\textquoteright}: description of a new subgenus Nanoacalles and two new species of Calacalles from the Macaronesian Islands (Curculionidae: Cryptorhynchinae)}, journal = {Zootaxa}, volume = {2300}, year = {2009}, month = {30 Nov}, pages = {51-67}, abstract = {A molecular phylogeny for the eastern Atlantic weevil genus Calacalles Peyerimhoff, 1925 is presented, using two mitochondrial genes (CO1 and 16S).

Calacalles palmensis (Roudier, 1954) (formerly Acalles wollastoni palmensis Roudier, 1954), which is illustrated here for the first time (habitus and aedeagus), is not a synonym of Acalles seticollis Wollaston, 1864, but a valid taxon.

The results of this study show the need for molecular tools within this morphologically cryptic group of weevils and provide a scaffold based on which genus assignment can be tested. The present study mostly corroborates the current subdivision into genera (but many of the subgeneric groups are questioned). Three new genera are described: Montanacalles gen. nov.
