| Popis: | Chersotis laeta leonhardi (Rebel, 1904). New records: Mt. Biokovo, Podglogovnik, 19.06.2007, 1 ex., leg. Mihoci; Mt. Biokovo, meadows at 1080 m, 18.06.2007, 5 ex., leg. Mihoci; Mt. Biokovo, Ravna Vlaška, 13.07.2013, 2 ex., leg. Mihoci; Mt. Biokovo, above Vošac, 15.07.2013, 6 ex., leg. Mihoci; Mt. Biokovo, electric substation, 18.06.2007, 3 ex., leg. Mihoci; 02.07.2007, 5 ex., leg. Mihoci; Mt. Biokovo, below Sv. Jure, 24.07.1994, 1 ex., leg. Kučinić, 02.07.2007, 9 ex., leg. Mihoci, 16.07.2013, 5 ex., leg. Mihoci; Mt. Biokovo, Lađena, 22.07.1995, 1 ex., leg. Vajdić, 24.07.1995. 1 ex., leg. Kučinić; Mt. Biokovo, near the chapel, 13.07.1994, 1 ex., leg. Kučinić, 14.06.1991, 1 ex., leg. Kučinić. Genetic data: Sequences from this study represent the first published DNA barcodes for this species and clustered within two well supported monophyletic clades, the first one containing all samples of Ch. laeta leonhardi, and the second clade samples of Ch. laeta macini and one of Ch. laeta achaiana (Fig. 1). The intraspecific p-distances ranged from 0,2-2.9 % (2.7-2.9 % between two Ch. laeta subspecies, Table 2). They marginally overlapped with interspecific distances revealed between Ch. laeta and its sister species Ch. fimbriola (2.9-3.2 %, Tab. 2). Moreover, they are in the range or even larger than interspecific distances between several well-defined species of the genus such are: Ch. andreae vs. Ch. multangula (2.7-3-0 %), Ch. anatolica vs. Ch. elegans (2.4-2.7%) and Ch. margaritacea cyrnea vs. Ch. margaritacea (1.7 – 2.4 %) (Tab. 2). Those findings are consistent with the results of the ABGD analysis which advocates distinct species status of Ch. laeta leonhardi and Ch. laeta achaiana which are found sympatric and synchronic in Albania, Tomorr Mt., as well as with unresolved trichotomy obtained in NJ analysis between Ch. fimbriola, Ch. laeta achaiana /macini (Fig. 5: a-e) and Ch. laeta leonhardi (Fig. 6). All above strongly argues for the necessity of taxonomic revision within Ch. laeta which, based on molecular data, could be split into two species. Additional morphological analysis of the greater number of specimens from Ch. laeta subspecies from different localities should be undertaken to support the rising of the Ch. laeta leonhardi on the species level.
