Dear Pablo,
I recommend you to visit the following web site:
http://www.ecbol.org/index.php?/xml/page/publications
There are examples of papers which have indicated the existence of
genetically cryptic (cryptic at least in barcodes, COI sequence) species.
See for example a paper by Kaila & Ståhls.
Good luck!
Marko Mutanen

Dear colleagues,
Besides the problem behind species concepts and aesthetic
(non-scientific) values for particular kinds of phylogenetic and
taxonomic characters, I am currently searching for published examples
where the species is cryptic from the genetic perspective but
recognizable (different) from the morphological perspective. This is a
counter-current example which is apparently very difficult to find.
An interesting example is the evidence presented by Jeffrey Schwartz on
his book: "The Red Ape: Orangutans and Human Origins" where he contests
current genetic evidence upon the common origin shared by chimps and
humans, arguing instead for the orangutan.
I will appreciate any published studies suggesting morphological
evidence for species lineage independence (i.e. species) opposing
genetic evidence of single lineages (genetically cryptic).
Thanks
Pablo
