MUSCHAMPIA PROTO (OCHSENHEIMER, 1808)
Type locality: Portugal .
Original reference: Ochsenheimer F, 1808. Die Schmetterlinge von Europa. Erster Band. Zweyte Abtheilung. Leipzig: G. Fleischer.
Original name: Papilio proto .
Monophyletic in the phylogenies based on nuclear and mitochondrial markers. Minimum uncorrected p -distances are 2.55% (ITS2) and 3.79% (COI) with respect to M. alta and 2.53% (ITS2) and 2.96% (COI) with respect to M. proteides . Morphometric analyses of the genitalia separate M. proto from the other species well. It can be distinguished from M. proteides by the long gnathos, sometimes with the tip rounded. Compared with M. alta and M. proteides , it has a wider dorsal process of the cucullus. No diagnostic traits in the wings to distinguish it from M. alta and M. proteides were observed, although no morphometric analyses were performed.
Distribution: North-western Africa, the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean coast of France.
