Seven taxa are recognized, including 3 new taxa, provisionally designated as Ochthebius species A from Italy, O. heeri subspecies A from the western Canaries, and Ochthebius species B from Israel. Ochthebius heeri Wollaston, 1854 is raised from synonymy with O. quadricollis Mulsant, 1844. On the basis of the descriptors used, as well as on the absence of gene exchange in sympatric areas, specific rank is assigned to Ochthebius quadricollis, Ochthebius species A and O. brevicollis, whose ranges show overlapping areas. For the allopatric taxa Ochthebius heeri heeri and O. heeri A, Ochthebius species B, O. brevicollis brevicollis and O. brevicollis steinbuehleri, specific or subspecific ranks were assigned mainly on the basis of their degree of genetic differentiation. A biogeographical hypothesis on the origin of the 7 taxa is proposed. © 1996 Entomological Society of America Systematics nationallicence Ochthebius (Calobius) nationallicence isozymes nationallicence molecular taxonomy nationallicence genetic distance nationallicence reproductive isolation nationallicence Urbanelli Sandra Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Rome "La Sapienza”, Via Lancisi, 29, 1-00161 Rome, Italy. aut Sallicandro Pina Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Rome "La Sapienza”, Via Lancisi, 29, 1-00161 Rome, Italy. aut De Vito Emanuele Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Rome "La Sapienza”, Via Lancisi, 29, 1-00161 Rome, Italy. aut Colonnelli Enzo Via Nicolo' Piccinino, 15, 1-00176 Rome, Italy. aut Bullini Luciano Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Rome "La Sapienza”, Via Lancisi, 29, 1-00161 Rome, Italy. aut Annals of the Entomological Society of America Oxford University Press 89/5(1996-09-01), 623-636 0013-8746 89:5<623 1996 89 aesa https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/89.5.623 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/89.5.623 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Urbanelli Sandra Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Rome "La Sapienza”, Via Lancisi, 29, 1-00161 Rome, Italy aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sallicandro Pina Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Rome "La Sapienza”, Via Lancisi, 29, 1-00161 Rome, Italy aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- De Vito Emanuele Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Rome "La Sapienza”, Via Lancisi, 29, 1-00161 Rome, Italy aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Colonnelli Enzo Via Nicolo' Piccinino, 15, 1-00176 Rome, Italy aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Bullini Luciano Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Rome "La Sapienza”, Via Lancisi, 29, 1-00161 Rome, Italy aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Annals of the Entomological Society of America Oxford University Press 89/5(1996-09-01), 623-636 0013-8746 89:5<623 1996 89 aesa Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
