The ecology and phylogeny of the Melitaeini butterflies have received considerable attention in the last few years. Several
publications have been based on research using molecular methods. Genital morphometry has already been published on two
sibling species but without any accompanying taxonomic revision of related species or their intraspecific taxonomy. In this
study the morphology of genitalia was analysed by landmark-based geometric morphometrics in males and by traditional
morphometrics in females. Based on these morphological characters, the whole M. phoebe group (subg. Cinclidia) was revised.
According to our results M. telona Fruhstorfer, 1908 is conspecific with M. ‘phoebe’ ornata Christoph, 1893. Thus, we consider
M. telona a junior synonym of M. ornata, and we propose new combinations: M. ornata ornata Christoph, 1893, M. ornata
telona Fruhstorfer, 1908, M. ornata amanica Rebel, 1917, M. ornata capreolaVarga, 1967, M. ornata emipunicaVerity, 1919, M.
ornata enoch Higgins, 1941, M. ornata kovacsi Varga, 1967, M. ornata nigrogygia Verity, 1938, M. ornata ogygia Fruhstorfer,
1907 and M. ornata totila Stauder, 1914 based on the rule of priority. The validity of the species status of M. punica and M.
scotosia was confirmed, whereas M. sibina and M. pseudosibina could not be separated from M. phoebe using morphometrics.
A new species from Iran (Zagros Mts.) was described as M. zagrosi sp. n. In addition, the whole geographical range of M.
ornata was reconsidered and some biogeographical connections were discussed. In M. ornata four morphotypes were found
based on genitalia: 1. ‘Western type’: including the Italian, Hungarian and SW Ukrainian populations; 2. ‘Eastern type’: with a
much extended distribution ranging from the Balkan Peninsula through Asia Minor to Kazakhstan; 3. ‘The Levant type’ (=M.
ornata telona comb. nov.); 4. ‘Northern Iranian type’ (Kopeth Dagh and Elburz Mts.). The distribution of these morphotypes
can be attributed to historic separation in distinct glacial refugia.

Widespread species have the potential to reveal large-scale biogeographical patterns, as
well as responses to environmental changes possibly unique to habitat generalists. This
study presents a continental-scale phylogeographical analysis of Polyommatus icarus,
one of the most common Palaearctic butterflies, and the morphologically and ecologically
similar Polyommatus celina, a recently discovered cryptic species. By combining data
from mitochondrial [cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI)] and nuclear [internal
transcribed spacer (ITS2)] molecular markers with geometric morphometrics, we
document a complex phylogeographical history for the two species. Despite morphological
similarities, the genetic divergence between these two species is high (more than
5% at COI) and they are not sister species. For the first time, we show that P. celina
occurs not only in North Africa but also in Europe, where it inhabits several west
Mediterranean islands, as well as large parts of Iberia, where it occurs in parapatry with
P. icarus. The two species appear to completely exclude each other on islands, but we
provide morphological and molecular evidence that introgression occurred in the Iberian
Peninsula. We discovered strongly diverged lineages that seem to represent relict
populations produced by past range expansions and contractions: Crete and Iberian
isolates for P. icarus, Balearics–Sardinia and Sicily–Lipari for P. celina. This study
shows that a combined genetic-morphometric approach can shed light on cryptic
diversity while providing the necessary resolution to reconstruct a fine-scale phylogeographical
history of species at both spatial and temporal levels.

Aim To study the biogeographical factors responsible for the current disjunct
distributions of two closely related species of butterflies (Pyrgus cinarae and
Pyrgus sidae, Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea). Both species have small populations in
the Iberian Peninsula that are isolated by more than 1000 km from their nearest
conspecifics. Because these species possess similar ecological preferences and
geographical distributions, they are excellent candidates for congruent
biogeographical histories.
Location The Palaearctic region, with a special focus on the Mediterranean
peninsulas as glacial refugia.
Methods We integrated phylogeography and population genetic analyses with
ecological niche modelling. The mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase
subunit 1 (COI) and the non-coding nuclear marker internal transcribed spacer 2
(ITS2) were analysed for 62 specimens of P. cinarae and for 80 of P. sidae to infer
phylogeography and to date the origin of disjunct distributions. Current and
ancestral [Last Glacial Maximum using MIROC (Model for Interdisciplinary
Research on Climate) and CCSM (Community Climate System Model)
circulation models] distribution models were calculated with Maxent. Using
present climatic conditions, we delimited the ecological space for each species.
Results The genetic structure and potential ancestral distribution of the two
species were markedly different. While the Iberian population of P. cinarae had an
old origin (c. 1 Ma), that of P. sidae was closely related to French and Italian
lineages (which jointly diverged from eastern populations c. 0.27 Ma). Ecological
niche modelling showed that minor differences in the ecological preferences of
the two species seem to account for their drastically different distributional
response to the last glacial to post-glacial environmental conditions. Although the
potential distribution of P. cinarae was largely unaffected by climate change,
suitable habitat for P. sidae strongly shifted in both elevation and latitude. This
result might explain the early origin of the disjunct distribution of P. cinarae, in
contrast to the more recent disjunction of P. sidae.
Main conclusions We show that convergent biogeographical patterns can be
analysed with a combination of genetic and ecological niche modelling data. The
results demonstrate that species with similar distributional patterns and ecology
may still have different biogeographical histories, highlighting the importance of
including the temporal dimension when studying biogeographical patterns.

On 19.V.2004, 15 ova of P. afra from the Greek prefecture of Kozani (West Macedonia) arrived at D. Jutzeler’s home;
they originated from a caged female collected by T. Lafranchis. In this study, the rearing of this material in Switzerland is documented
and compared with the results of the rearing of P. afra originating from Dalmatia (Croatia), carried out by P. Roos (1984).
The changes to both the specific and generic names, which have been used for this species, are traced back to the time of its discovery
in South Russia. Of the described subspecies of P. afra, the two Balkan races: ssp. pyramus (de Louker & Dils, 1987) and ssp.
dalmata (Godart, 1824) are discussed in detail whereas the others are merely summarised.
