| Abstract: | The phenotypic analyses of the Greek population of Muschampia cribrellum (Eversmann, 1841) from the Mount Olympus reveal a new subspeciation in the Balkan area. The specimens from Mt Olympus are separated from the other European populations by both forewing white spots presence and specific alpine biotope. The genotypic analysis and the genitalia examination do not confirm the phenotypic results, problably because of a very recent range fragmentation or expansion, selective sweeps po-tentially induced by Wolbachia infection. |
