03DD7F241423FF9CFE5BFD85FDAFF8D3.taxon	discussion	Remarks The examined specimens of X. maritima mentioned by Schulz & Lymberakis (2006), Schulz & Burkhardt (2012) and Gwiazdowicz et al. (2022) fit the description of this species by Skarżyński et al. (2018). The specimens from the collection of Ellis (1976) that we had at our disposal, despite its poor state of preservation, can also be assigned to this species. DNA barcoding revealed the existence of two genetic lineages of X. maritma: L 1 from Poland and L 2 from Crete. Since the analyzed material came from only one site on Crete (Kedros Mountain, Gerakari), it is not possible to further assess the extent of the genetic diversity of X. maritima on this island. More extensive research is needed to determine the barcode lineage status of X. maritima populations worldwide, including in Crete.	en	Skarżyński, Dariusz, Valle, Barbara, Gwiazdowicz, Dariusz J., Porco, David (2025): Integrative description of two new species of the Xenylla maritima species complex (Collembola: Hypogastruridae) from Crete (Greece), with notes on the high intraspecific genetic divergence found in X. maritima Tullberg, 1869.

03DD7F241420FF91FE97FE87FDB6FA1E.taxon	discussion	Remarks X. ellisi sp. nov. is similar to X. mediterranea, from which it differs in characters summarised in Table 3 and in the identification key. Moreover, it is worth emphasizing that the new species differs from all other members of the X. maritima complex in the morphology of reproductive males. The occurrence of integumentary swellings on the sterna of Abd. II and III may be considered as a manifestation of epitoky. This phenomenon has not been reported so far in representatives of the genus Xenylla. Examination of the material mentioned above allowed us to conclude that this new species was reported from Crete by Schulz & Burkhardt (2012) as X. maritima and by Gwiazdowicz et al. (2022) as Xenylla sp. 2 maritima complex.	en	Skarżyński, Dariusz, Valle, Barbara, Gwiazdowicz, Dariusz J., Porco, David (2025): Integrative description of two new species of the Xenylla maritima species complex (Collembola: Hypogastruridae) from Crete (Greece), with notes on the high intraspecific genetic divergence found in X. maritima Tullberg, 1869.
