Lebertia porosa Thor, 1900 - complex

BINs: BOLD:ACS0974, BOLD:AED4662, BOLD:ACP5319.

BIN distribution: BOLD:ACS0974 ( the Netherlands, France, Romania, Montenegro, Germany, UK, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Greece, Serbia, North Macedonia, Türkiye, Portugal); BOLD:AED4662 ( Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina), BOLD:ACP5319 ( Norway, Germany, Portugal, Serbia).

Remarks: Recently, L. porosa has been redefined by Tyukosova et al. (2022) based on the specimens from the type locality that were shown to belong to BOLD:ACQ9049. The taxonomic status of other L. porosa like species including BOLD:ACP5319, provisionally assigned by Tyukosova et al. (2022) to L. porosa aggr. sp. A., and the widely distributed BOLD:ACS0974 needs to be clarified by resolving taxonomic status of numerous species listed as synonyms in Gerecke (2009).
