The island of Barbuda was recently surveyed for the presence of Haplaxius crudus to establish the risk of Lethal Yellowing to palms on the island. After extensive collecting, H. crudus was not found on the island. A new species of Patara Westwood was found on coconut palms on the southwest portion of Barbuda. Herein, we describe the new species as Patara cooki sp. n. and provide DNA sequence data for cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 18S genes for it and Patara guttata Westwood. Patara cooki differed from Patara guttata sp. n. by 1.8% for 18S and 7.8% for COI, similar to intrageneric differences reported for other taxa. A phylogenetic analysis of available Otiocerinae near Patara using found Patara cooki sp. n. nested among other Patara species. We also offer commentary regarding the interpretation of forewing venation in Patara.
巴贝多岛最近进行了一项调查,以确定是否存在哈普拉克修斯·克鲁德斯,从而评估该岛棕榈树感染致死黄化病的风险。经过广泛采集,岛上并未发现哈普拉克修斯·克鲁德斯。在巴贝多岛西南部的椰子树上发现了一种新的帕塔拉种。本文将其描述为新种库克帕塔拉,并提供了其与西沃德的帕塔拉·古塔塔的细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚基 I(COI)和 18S 基因的 DNA 序列数据。18S 和 COI 上,库克帕塔拉与古塔塔种的差异分别为 1.8%和 7.8%,与其他分类群报道的种内差异相似。利用发现的新种库克帕塔拉对帕塔拉附近的 Otiocerinae 进行的系统发育分析表明,它嵌套在其他帕塔拉种中。我们还对帕塔拉前翅脉序的解释进行了评论。
