Protzia invalvaris Piersig, 1898

Published records: Montenegro: Pešić et al. (2021a); Serbia: Pešić et al. (2021b).

Distribution: Palaearctic.

New barcode sequences: Montenegro: BOLD:AEI5749 (HYDMN418-24).

BINs: BOLD:AEI2833, BOLD:AEI5749.

BIN distribution: BOLD:AEI2833 ( Montenegro); BOLD:AEI5749 ( Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro), Remarks: As mentioned by Di Sabatino et al. (2010) P. invalvaris probably represents a species complex. Therefore, the typical lineage of P. invalvaris must be redefined based on molecular analysis of material from the locus typicus.
