Parnassius apollo (Linnaeus, 1758) is probably the most renowned Eurasian montane butterfly. Its specialized
ecology makes it very sensitive to habitat and climate changes, so that it is now experiencing range contraction
and local extinction across most of its range. We sequenced 869 bp of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome
oxidase I gene in 78 P. apollo populations (201 individuals) in order to: (1) assess the phylogeographic pattern of
the species; (2) shed light on the historical biogeographic processes that shaped the distribution of the species; and
(3) identify geographic population units of special value for the conservation of the species\’ genetic diversity. Our
analyses revealed a very strong phylogeographic structure in P. apollo, which displays a number of distinctive
mtDNA lineages populating geographically distinct areas. Overall sequence divergence is relatively shallow, and
is consistent with a recent (late Pleistocene) colonization of most of the range. We propose that P. apollo is best
viewed as an atypical glacial invader in southern and western Europe, the isolated, montane populations of which,
threatened by climate warming, retain a large fraction of the species evolutionary heritage

Taxonomical oversplitting in western European Agrodiaetus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) revealed by chromosomal and molecular markers}, journal = {Biological Journal of the Linnean Society}, volume = {101}, year = {2010}, chapter = {130}, abstract = {

Approximately 50 taxa of butterflies in Western Europe have been described as new species or elevated to the level
of species during the last 40 years. Many, especially those belonging to the genus Agrodiaetus, have unusually
localized, \‘dot-like\’ distributional ranges. In the present study, we use a combination of chromosomal and molecular
markers to re-evaluate the species status of Agrodiaetus distributed west of the 17th meridian. The results
obtained do not support the current designations of Agrodiaetus galloi, Agrodiaetus exuberans, and Agrodiaetus
agenjoi as endemic species with highly restricted distribution ranges, but indicate that these taxa are more likely
to be local populations of a widely distributed species, Agrodiaetus ripartii. Agrodiaetus violetae is shown to be a
polytypic species consisting of at least two subspecies, including Agrodiaetus violetae subbaeticus comb. nov. and
Agrodiaetus violetae violetae. Agrodiaetus violetae is genetically (but not chromosomally) distinct from Agrodiaetus
fabressei and has a wider distribution in southern Spain than previously believed. Agrodiaetus humedasae from
northern Italy is supported as a highly localized species that is distinct from its nearest relatives. We propose a
revision of the species lists for Agrodiaetus taking these new data into account. The results reported in the present
study are relevant to animal conservation efforts in Europe because of their implications for IUCN Red List
priorities.

Taxonomy and phylogeny of the diverse nymphalid genus Melitaea was often considered during
the last decade. Melitaea phoebe (Knapweed Fritillary) and M. telona has been considered
as conspecific until the last few years. Morphometric characters of genital structures were analysed
by traditional morphometric method. Significant but slightly overlapping differences
were found in both sexes. In male genitalia we observed that M. telona can be characterised by
a more notched saccus, and more symmetric processi posteriore than M. phoebe. In females,
Melitaea phoebe has more circle shaped, while M. telona has more elliptic shaped posterior
lamella. The furca is usually smaller in M. phoebe. M. phoebe ornata specimens from the
South Ural, Russia, were clustered together with M. telona in the analyses.
