Atractides pennatus

Atractides pennatus (K. Viets, 1920) Published records: Croatia: Pozojević et al. (2020); Bosnia and Herzegovina: Pešić et al. (2024a); Montenegro: Pešić et al. (2019b, 2021a); North Macedonia: Królikowska et al. (2024). Distribution: Europe except Scandinavia and Caucasus. New barcode sequences: Montenegro: ADF7007 (HYDMN441-24, HYDMN024-24, HYDMN646-24, HYDMN647-24, HYDMN648-24, HYDMN652-24, HYDMN653-24, HYDMN654-24). BINs: BOLD:ADF7007, BOLD:AES4768, BOLD:AGH5610, BOLD:AGH5611. BIN distribution: BOLD:ADF7007 (the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Italy, Montenegro, North Macedonia); BOLD:AES4768 (Austria, Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina), BOLD:AGH5610 (Bosnia and Herzegovina), BOLD:AGH5611 (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Remarks: European populations keying out as A. pennatus in Gerecke et al. (2016), clearly represent two divergent barcode clusters. The typical A. pennatus must be redefined and assigned to one of these clusters, the other genetic lineages likely represent a species new to science.
