Based on morphological and phylogenetic investigations, four new species, Clitocella termitophila, Clitopilus velutinus, Rhodocybe dominicana, and Rhodocybe pseudoalutacea, one new variety, Rhodocybe luteocinnamomea var. ...
Phylogeography of Dominican Republic bats and implications for systematic relationships in the Neotropics
(2017)
