REMARKS We found several species-level genetic lineages that broadly match the morphological description of Sc. portonana . At the type locality of the species (i.e., Albertacce, Col de Vergio; Qiu & Bouché 1998a ; Fig. 4B ), we found two species-level lineages (L3 and L4). Unfortunately, L3 was represented by two juvenile specimens, preventing any testing of the existence of morphological differences between both lineages. We therefore conservatively consider L3 and L4 as cryptic lineages until further material is collected. Two additional species-level lineages were also detected (L1 and L2). While they were initially assigned to Sc. portonana , they differ from each other and from the topotypes in significant morphological characters, thus they can be considered as new species. Interestingly, these two species are more closely related genetically to some lineages of Scherotheca corsicana ( Pop, 1947 ) (see infra ) than to Sc. portonana sensu stricto (Suplementary File 1).
