Sperchonopsis verrucosa

Sperchonopsis verrucosa (Protz, 1896) Published records: Croatia: Žeželj Vidoša et al. (2023); Montenegro: Pešić et al. (2021a); North Macedonia: Królikowska et al. (2024). Distribution: Holarctic. New barcode sequences: Croatia: ACS9705 (HYDOC071-22, HYDOC072-22). BINs: BOLD:ACS9705, BOLD:AEK8297. BIN distribution: BOLD:ACS9705 (Norway, Belgium, Italy, Montenegro, Croatia, North Macedonia), BOLD: AEK8297 (Romania, Montenegro, North Macedonia). Remarks: As emphasized by Pešić et al. (2022b), genetic data indicate that European populations assigned to S. verrucosa include several distinct clusters, indicating the need for molecular and morphological re-definition of this species. Family Teutoniidae Koenike, 1910
