ZOOTAXA

ZOOTAXA65Florida. The melanic population was 3.3% different (uncorrected "p" distance) from theFlorida population which represents the greatest within-species distance obvserved forCOII in the Nicrophorinae (unpub. data). The next greatest within-species distance is afull 1% smaller (2.3%) between samples of N. nepalensis from Nepal (Mustang Dist.) andfrom Malaysia (Cameron). All remaining within-species distances fall continuously, i.e.without large gaps, from 2.3% to 0%. However, with the exception of three cases, allamong-species distances are above 5.5% and range to 18%, thus the N. mysticallis populationappears, based on COII distances alone, to be not clearly differentiated from the nominalN. carolinus at the species rank. Taxonomists so inclined could make a case for thispopulation to deserve subspecific rank, however.Nicrophorus chilensis Philippi, 1871Type locality: “Santa Cruz, Prov.
