Data from: Exon capture museomics deciphers the nine-banded armadillo species complex and identifies a new species endemic to the Guiana Shield

The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is the most widespread xenarthran species across the Americas. Recent studies have suggested it is composed of four morphologically and genetically distinct lineages of uncertain taxonomic status. To address this issue, we used a museomic approach to sequence 80 complete mitogenomes and capture 997 nuclear loci for 71 Dasypus individuals sampled across the entire distribution. We carefully cleaned up potential genotyping errors and cross contaminations that could blur species boundaries by mimicking gene flow. Our results unambiguously support four distinct lineages within the D. novemcinctus complex. We found cases of mito-nuclear phylogenetic discordance but only limited contemporary gene flow confined to the margins of the lineage distributions. All available evidence including the restricted gene flow, phylogenetic reconstructions based on both mitogenomes and nuclear loci, and phylogenetic delimitation methods consistently supported the four lineages within D. novemcinctus as four distinct species. Comparable genetic differentiation values to other recognized Dasypus species further reinforced their status as valid species. Considering congruent morphological results from previous studies, we provide an integrative taxonomic view to recognise four species within the D. novemcinctus complex: D. novemcinctus, D. fenestratus, D. mexicanus, and D. guianensis sp. nov., a new species endemic of the Guiana Shield that we describe here. The two available individuals of D. mazzai and D. sabanicola were consistently nested within D. novemcinctus lineage and their status remains to be assessed. The present work offers a case study illustrating the power of museomics to reveal cryptic species diversity within a widely distributed and emblematic species of mammals.

Figure 9 in Fregetta lineata (Peale, 1848) is a valid extant species endemic to New Caledonia

Figure 9. Comparison of underparts and underwing patterns of New Caledonian Storm Petrel Fregetta lineata (n = 30), off Nouméa, New Caledonia, January 2020 (top row) and New Zealand Storm Petrel F. maoriana (n = 43), Hauraki Gulf, North Island, New Zealand, November 2018 (bottom row). Variation is scored into four main types for each species, from the heaviest marked (score 1) to lightest marked (score 4). Underparts streaking Both species can show similar coverage of streaking on the white belly and a tendency for denser and / or thicker streaks on the flanks. Score 1 for F. lineata (23.3% of birds) is uniquely patterned, with continuous and dense rows of oval dapples, rather than straighter lines of F. maoriana. Score 2 for F. lineata (36.7%) is the most common and similar to the coverage and shape of streaking as the similarly common score 2 for F. maoriana (34.9%). Streaking on F. lineata tends to be denser and bolder giving the impression it is wider. The unstreaked belly area tends to be cleaner white in F. maoriana. Border of dark breast The border in F. lineata is positioned higher than in F. maoriana, towards the centre of the upper breast, creating a rounder and less straight border than F. maoriana. Underwing pattern In F. lineata, the dark leading edge to the inner wing involves lesser secondary-coverts. The longest of these have partially dark bases creating a characteristic ragged border, with strongly marked bases in 83.3%, limited dark bases in the remaining 16.7%. By contrast, the dark leading edge in F. maoriana invariably shows a clear-cut border on the coverts, only occasionally with a few dark spots in the longest lesser coverts, and never forming a continuous ragged border as in F. lineata. Usually, some greater secondary-coverts and most / all greater primary-coverts in F. lineata have broad dark centres. Thus, the white underwing panel of F. lineata is noticeably less extensive than in F. maoriana (Hadoram Shirihai, © Tubenoses Project)
