Popis: MUSCHAMPIA ALTA (SCHWINGENSCHUSS, 1942) COMB. & STAT. NOV. Type locality: Taormina, Sicily, Italy. Original reference: Schwingenschuss L. 1942. Eine Falterausbeute aus Sizilien. I. Teil. Macrolepidoptera. Zeitschrift des Wiener Entomologen-vereines 27: 177���184. Original name: Hesperia proto alta. Monophyletic in the phylogenies based on nuclear and mitochondrial markers, which show that this taxon is sister to M. proteides. Minimum uncorrected p -distances are 2.55% (ITS 2) and 3.79% (COI) with respect to M. proto and 2.87% (ITS 2) and 2.08% (COI) with respect to M. proteides. It can be distinguished from M. proteides by the long gnathos. Morphometrics of the male genitalia highlights differences in the cucullus with respect to M. proto and M. proteides, in particular a smaller dorsal process of the cucullus. No diagnostic traits in the wings to distinguish it from M. proto and M. proteides were observed, although no morphometric analyses were performed. Distribution: Sicily, southern Italian Peninsula and Balkan Peninsula. It is probable that the species is also present in the western Aegean Islands.
