NextRAD phylogenomics, sanger sequencing and morphological data to establish three new species of New Guinea stream beetles

We use molecular phylogenomic as well morphological data to provide a taxonomic update on New Guinea endemic Philaccolilus diving beetles. In these lotic beetles, we find cryptic diversity that highlights the need for geographically denser sampling combined with of an intergrative approach unravel true and biogeography describe three new species: P. intania sp. nov. from northern Bird’s Head Peninsula, kirana southern febrina which is more widespread Head. ameliae weylandensis elevated species rank, stat.
