The overrated use of the morphological cryptic species concept: An example with Nyctelia darkbeetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) using geometric morphometrics
(Elsevier, 2015)
The cryptic concept refers to two or more species that have been classified as a single nominal species due
to the fact that they are apparently morphologically indistinguishable. In recent years, the development
of ...
Allozymatic divergence between border populations of two cryptic species of the Drosophila buzzatii cluster species (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
Drosophila antonietae and Drosophila gouveai are allopatric, cactophilic, cryptic and endemic of South America species, which aedeagus morphology is considered the main diagnostic character. In this work, single close ...

(2013-06-21)
The family Callichthyidae, divided into the subfamilies Corydoradinae and Callichthyinae, contains more than 200 species of armoured catfishes distributed throughout the Neotropics, as well as fossil species dating from ...

What lies behind the curtain: Cryptic diversity in helminth parasites of human and veterinary importance
(2022)
Parasite cryptic species are morphologically indistinguishable but genetically distinct organisms, leading to taxa
with unclear species boundaries. Speciation mechanisms such as cospeciation, host colonization, taxon ...
Reassessment of the taxonomic status of pseudopaludicola parnaiba (Anura, leptodactylidae, leiuperinae), with the description of a new cryptic species from the Brazilian cerrado
(2020-01-01)
The Neotropical frog genus Pseudopaludicola includes 25 species distributed throughout South America. Herein we review the taxonomic status of P. parnaiba relative to P. canga and the specific identity of the population ...

Cryptic speciation and recombination in the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis as revealed by gene genealogies
(Oxford University Press, 2006-01-01)
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the etiologic agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, a disease confined to Latin America and of marked importance in the endemic areas due to its frequency and severity. This species is considered ...
