Comment:
Comments: Although eliasi was described and recognized as a subspecies of iheringi (Possôa and Reis, 1993, 1994, 1996), Lara and Patton (2000) elevated it to a species based on analysis of sequence data. The sister taxon of eliasi is paratus and these two taxa are included in a clade with setosus and yonenagae (Lara and Patton, 2000). Karyotype has 2n=58 and FN=112 (Pessôa and Reis, 1996)
