Read Explanation:

A species that is confined to a specific area and not found anywhere else is called an endemic species. Endemic species are native to a specific habitat within a given area. They are usually isolated by geographical barriers.

Neoendemic species: These are newly evolved species that arise due to reproductive isolation.
