Torrenticola meridionalis Di Sabatino & Cicolani 1990

Torrenticola meridionalis Sabatino & Cicolani, 1990 - complex Published records: Bosnia and Herzegovina: Pešić et al. (2024a); Montenegro: Pešić et al. (2021a); North Macedonia: Pešić et al. (2021b), Królikowska et al. (2024). Distribution: South Italy, Balkan. New barcode sequences: Montenegro: BOLD:AEI3402 (HYDME089-22, HYDBH002-22, HYDMN008-24, HYDMN009-24); BOLD:AED7519 (HYDMN010-24, HYDMN013-24, HYDMN043-24, HYDMN673-24, HYDMN674-24). BINs: BOLD:AED7519, BOLD:AEI3402. BIN distribution: BOLD:AED7519 (North Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland), BOLD:AEI3402 (Austria, Poland, Romania, Montenegro). Remarks: Pešić et al. (2021b) showed that populations keying out as T. meridionalis in Di Sabatino et al. (2016), a species originally described from Italy, include at least three divergent barcode clusters, one of which (BOLD: AEK9662) is restricted to populations from Italy and two other widely distributed haplogroups, BOLD:AED7519 and BOLD:AEI3402, respectively, which comprise populations from the Balkans.
