Genus Simocephalus Schoedler, 1858 View in CoL View at ENA

Eight species of Simocephalus were encountered in our survey. Simocephalus exspinosus (Koch) was restricted to the central plateau, while S. punctatus Orlova-Bienkowskaja was only found in the north. S. mixtus Sars was also detected in the north, but a morphologically similar species ( S. cf. mixtus ), with high divergence (14.39%) occurred on the central plateau. A smaller difference was found within the S. punctatus complex (4.6%). Both of these cases seem to involve cryptic species.
