A new species of Autocrates (Coleoptera: Trictenotomidae) revealed by DNA barcoding and morphological evidence

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Autocrates soni sp. nov. is described from Vietnam based on morphological and molecular evidence. This beetle is characterised by reddish-brown pubescence on its ventral side and much shorter setae on its femora compared to the closely related species Autocrates vitalisi Vuillet, 1912. The validity of this new species is strongly supported by DNA barcode data from all known species of the genus Autocrates.
