REMARKS Five species-level lineages were previously described within A. chlorotica (Dupont et al. 2011) with the geographically restricted L5 (Switzerland and Southeastern France) suggested to be divided into three mitochondrial lineages (L5, L6 and L7). Marchán et al. (2020) attributed the A. chlorotica individuals found in the Hyères Archipelago to L5 (without considering the further subdivision). Specimens collected in Corsica cluster together with this same lineage, except for one specimen more closely related to specimens from Provence and the Alps. Upon closer inspection, both groups appear to be separate cryptic lineages which would correspond to L5 and L7 (as defined by Dupont et al. 2011).
