From Europe to Caucasus: cryptic diversity and unexpected biogeographic history of a Western Palaearctic moss-inhabiting flea beetle (Chrysomelidae: Mniophila)

Original language description

The turbulent Tertiary and Quaternary history of Europe and the Ponto-Caucasus has had a strong impact on its biota, resulting in unusual patterns of speciation, diversification, and dispersal. Our study reveals the Late-Tertiary diversification and biogeographic history of Mniophila, a Western Palaearctic endemic moss-inhabiting flightless flea beetle distributed across Europe and the Ponto-Caucasus. We assembled samples across the whole range of the genus except Crimea. Based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis, we found that the diversification of Mniophila started in the Balkan Peninsula, and was followed by at least two independent colonizations of other parts of Europe. The Ponto-Caucasian species are all descendants of a single colonization from the Balkans, followed by species' radiation. The Mniophila beetles are, therefore, one of the first-known cases of the colonization of the Caucasus from Europe. We integrated our DNA data with morphology, allowing us to uncover the cryptic diversity of Mniophila and to revise its European species. We describe Mniophila haveli sp. nov. from the Carpathians and Balkans, M. wroblewskii from Central Europe and the Balkans is restored as a valid species, and M. bosnica Apfelbeck, 1914 is newly recognized as a Dinaric endemic. We reveal an exceedingly large distribution range for M. muscorum (Koch, 1803), which is unusual for a flightless beetle.
