Chirgus (Chirgus) trisignatus (Mabille, 1875) is a species distinct from Chirgus (Chirgus) bocchoris (Hewitson, 1874)
Genomic phylogeny reveals that in all three trees Scelothrix [sic] trisignatus Mabille, 1875 (type locality Chile: Valparaiso), currently treated as a subspecies of Chirgus (Chirgus) bocchoris (Hewitson, 1874) (type locality in Bolivia) ( Fig. 109 aquamarine), is strongly differentiated from it genetically ( Fig. 109 blue), forming a distinct clade that includes specimens throughout the range. The Z chromosome Fst of the two taxa is 0.44, their COI barcodes differ by 1.4% (9 bp), and they possess distinct wing patterns as detailed by Evans (1953). Therefore, we propose that Chirgus (Chirgus) trisignatus (Mabille, 1875) , stat. rest. is a species distinct from Chirgus (Chirgus) bocchoris (Hewitson, 1874) .
