Piona aff. nodata ( Mueller, 1776)

Material examined.

Portugal, Reserva Natural do Estuario do Sado , Herdade do Pinheiro, 38.4953°N, 8.7097°W, 10.v.2022, leg. Oliveira, 2♂, 2♀ (sequenced; Table 1 View Table 1 ) GoogleMaps .

Remarks.

The Portuguese specimens molecularly analyzed in this study match description of P. nodata . Genetic data indicate that all examined specimens form a cluster (BOLD:AET0101) and belong to the same species. This BIN is solely composed of the Portuguese specimens; the closest neighboring BIN is that of P. nodata (BOLD:ACR9882">) from the Netherlands. The high p -distance (10.45%) between these two BINs indicates that the Portuguese lineage may represent a cryptic species.

Distribution.

Holarctic.
