Hygrobates longiporus Thor, 1898 - complex

Published records: Croatia: Žeželj Vidoša et al. (2023); Serbia: Pešić et al. (2021b); Greece: Pešić et al. (2021b).

Distribution: Palaearctic.

New barcode sequences: Greece: BOLD:AEM7299 (BSNTN1934-24, BSNTN1932-24, BSNTN1943-24.

BINs: BOLD:AEB8359, BOLD:AEM7299.

BIN Distribution: BOLD:AEB8359 ( Norway, Bulgaria, Türkiye, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Albania, Greece, Czechia, Montenegro, Slovakia, Russia); BOLD:AEM7299 ( Serbia, Türkiye, Greece, Bulgaria, Albania).

Remarks: The taxonomic status of H. longiporus was recently questioned by Pešić et al. (2021b, 2022c, 2024b) who found that DNA barcodes of the specimens assigned to the latter species in Europe and Türkiye cluster within four distinct genetic lineages, indicating the need for a large-scale revision of this complex.
