Aug. 2021, leg. Goldschmidt 1♀ (sequenced; voucher ID: CCDB-44301-G06), dissected and slide mounted (RMNH).</p> <p>Remarks — The single female from Sardinia, used in this study for molecular analysis, morphologically matches the description of Panisus torrenticolus. The latter species is diagnosed by a characteristic porosity of the muscle attachment sclerites, having a centre of fine pores surrounded by a circle of large pores and an outer area of finer pores (Fig. 5A, B). Further features include the frontal shield as long as wide, or longer than wide, and dorsolateral plates without or with only slightly projecting lateral extensions (Fig. 5A) (Di Sabatino et al. 2010).</p> <p>The sequenced specimen from Sardinia forms a unique BIN (BOLD:AFC5560) with the nearest neighbouring BIN BOLD:AET0970, which includes a specimen of P. chicamoi Valdecasas, García- Jiménez &amp; Fernández- Campoamor, 2021(GBMNF37305-22) from Spain, a species recently described by Valdecasas et al. (2021) from Murcia, Spain. In our COI tree, the specimen from Sardinia appeared as sister clade of the latter species from Spain. The p -distance between these two BINs was estimated at 15.54% indicating a long independent history of these two clades.</p> <p>In order to finally define the taxonomic status of the new lineage from Sardinia, the taxonomic situation of two other Western Mediterranean species needs to be clarified first:</p> <p>Panisus clypeolatus Maglio, 1909, originally described from Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy (Maglio 1909) and later on reported from the Western Mediterranean (e.g., Algeria: K. Viets 1951, Bader 1989; France: Motas 1928a, b, Lundblad 1956; Italy: Cicolani &amp; Di Sabatino 1985). It was synonymized with P. torrenticolus by Di Sabatino et al. (2009). The type material of P. clypeolatus is lost and the original description does not include original details that allow a definition of this taxon (see Di Sabatino et al. 2009 for discussion).</p> <p>Panisus lundbladi Bader, 1981, a species originally described from Spain based on a specimen collected by Lundblad in an aqueduct in Girona, Catalonia (Bader 1981). Morphologically, the latter species is somehow intermediate between P. michaeli Koenike, 1896 and P. torrenticolus, resembling the latter species in the presence of a ring of larger pores on most muscle attachment sclerites, and to P. michaeli in the presence of an enlarged frontal shield and the extensive lateral ramifications of the dorsolateralia. For now, it seems most appropriate to leave the clade from Sardinia as “ Panisus torrenticolus – group” until more specimens from Western Mediterranean, including specimens from the loci typici of the two above mentioned species with uncertain taxonomic status become available.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3B4417408E2CFF9AFF2DFAD6E7D7F9D9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The sequences of specimens from Sardinia form a highly supported clade which is placed (albeit with a low support) as a sister species of A. robustus from Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The COI sequences form a unique cluster (BOLD:AFC4126), with the nearest neighbouring BIN being BOLD:ADZ9348 which includes 54 specimens from Germany, Montenegro, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, Italy, Albania and Greece assigned to A. robustus. The genetic distance (11.22% p - distance) between these two clades indicates a long independent history of these species.</p> <p>Discussion — The new species from Sardinia morphologically resembles Atractides robustus (Sokolow, 1940), originally described as a subspecies of A. nodipalpis. From the latter species, A. robustus can be separated with certainty only in males (IV-L-4/5 with pointed lateral sheets covering the articulation of the next segments, P-4 sword seta proximal to proximo-ventral seta; Gerecke 2003). Atractides robustus was originally described by Sokolow (1940) from the affluents of Kuban River in the Caucasus. Recently the taxonomic status of A. robustus was questioned by Pešić et al. (2023c) who showed the presence of at least two lineages within A. robustus. The first lineage encompasses three BINs (BOLD:AEI1810, BOLD:AEK3669, BOLD:AED3548) of specimens from Eastern Turkey and Northern Iran, which probably belong to the same species as indicated by the results of the ASAP delineation procedure (Fig. 8). Considering the proximity of the locality from which these BINs originate and the locus typicus of A. robustus, it seems appropriate to assume that this lineage is conspecific with the latter species. The second lineage, on the other hand, includes populations from Central Europe and the Balkans which fall within BIN cluster BOLD:ADZ9348. As emphasized by Pešić et al. (2023c), the latter populations from Central Europe and the Balkans might represent a new sister species but the final decision needs to be postponed until material of A. robustus from its locus typicus in the Caucasus is available.</p> <p>The new species from Sardinia differs in both sexes from Atractides robustus in the acetabula being comparatively smaller, roundish and arranged in a curve (vs. larger, subtriangular in shape and showing a triangular arrangement in the latter species). Furthermore, in males of A. robustus, both anterior and posterior margins of the genital field are strongly indented, anteriorly with a small projection in the centre of the indentation and Ac-3 rather long and with the anterior margin approaching the posterior margin of Ac-1 (see Figs. 6B and -F for comparison).</p> <p>Remarks — The previous records of A. robustus from Sardinia (Gerecke 2014b) likely should be assigned to the new species.</p> <p>Distribution — Italy (Sardinia).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3B4417408E28FF9CFF2DFC07E66AF81B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
