Torrenticola (Torrenticola) graecula Di Sabatino & Gerecke 2003

Torrenticola (Torrenticola) graecula Di Sabatino & Gerecke, 2003 Material examined: 2♂ (barcoded; DCCDB084-21, DCCDB085-21), Serbia, Stara Planina Mt., Crnovrška rijeka stream, 43.4045° N, 22.5131° E, 28 Jul. 2019, leg. Pešić, 1♂ (voucher Id: CCDB38233 H01) dissected and slide mounted (RMNH). Remarks: Re-examination of the male specimens from Serbia belonging to BOLD:AEI3403 showed that these specimens morphologically match description of T. graecula Di Sabatino & Gerecke, 2003, a species previously known only from the type localities in northern Peloponneus, Greece (Di Sabatino et al. 2003). With its roundish idiosoma and short postgenital area, T. graecula is similar to T. barsica (Szalay, 1933). According to the original description, T. graecula differs from T. barsica by a relatively larger extension of the genital field (L ratio genital field/idiosoma 0.24-0.26%, 0.19-0.23% in T. barsica), a shortened postgenital area (10-12% of the total idiosoma L, 19-23% in T. barsica) and a relatively longer ejaculatory complex (240-280 µm in T. graecula, 180-210 µm in T. barsica). Nevertheless, the taxonomic status of populations from Serbia requires confirmation by collecting and barcoding of T. graecula specimens from its type locality in Greece. Measurements of the examined male are provided in Table 1. Note: The examined specimens from Serbia were mistakenly reported by Pešić et al. (2021b) as belonging to T. anomala (Koch, 1837).

Abstract

Torrenticola (Torrenticola) graecula Di Sabatino & Gerecke, 2003 Material examined: 2♂ (barcoded; DCCDB084-21, DCCDB085-21), Serbia, Stara Planina Mt., Crnovrška rijeka stream, 43.4045° N, 22.5131° E, 28 Jul. 2019, leg. Pešić, 1♂ (voucher Id: CCDB38233 H01) dissected and slide mounted (RMNH). Remarks: Re-examination of the male specimens from Serbia belonging to BOLD:AEI3403 showed that these specimens morphologically match description of T. graecula Di Sabatino & Gerecke, 2003, a species previously known only from the type localities in northern Peloponneus, Greece (Di Sabatino et al. 2003).
