Abstract Introgression and hybridization are major impediments to genomic-based species delimitation because many implementations of the multispecies coalescent framework assume no gene flow among species. The sunfish genus Lepomis, one of the world’s most popular groups of freshwater sport fish, has a complicated taxonomic history. The results of ddRAD phylogenomic analyses do not provide support for the current taxonomy that recognizes two species, Lepomis megalotis and Lepomis peltastes, in the L. megalotis complex. Instead, evidence from phylogenomics and phenotype warrants recognizing six relatively ancient evolutionary lineages in the complex. The introgressed and hybridizing populations in the L. megalotis complex are localized and appear to be the result of secondary contact or rare hybridization events between nonsister species. Segregating admixed populations from our multispecies coalescent analyses identifies six species with moderate to high genealogical divergence, whereas including admixed populations drives all but one lineage below the species threshold of genealogical divergence. Segregation of admixed individuals also helps reveal phenotypic distinctiveness among the six species in morphological traits used by ichthyologists to discover and delimit species over the last two centuries. Our protocols allow for the identification and accommodation of hybridization and introgression in species delimitation. Genomic-based species delimitation validated with multiple lines of evidence provides a path towards the discovery of new biodiversity and resolving long-standing taxonomic problems.ddRAD; genealogical divergence index; hybridization; integrative species delimitation; phylogeny; secondary contact; systematics; taxonomy.
