New species of Galloisiana identified in Japan, revealing distinct clades and morphological traits.
Two new species of Galloisiana Caudell, 1924, G. harimensis sp. nov . and G. kawamurai sp. nov ., are described. In general appearance, both new species resemble G. nipponensis (Caudell & King, 1924), the type species of the genus. Molecular phylogeny reconstructed in the present study shows that the new species belong to clades different from that of G. nipponensis . Morphologically, the three species can be distinguished based on the male genitalia, although the females resemble each other.
