The female elytral sutural notch is notably more prominent in H. vedrasi than in H. jaechiana ( Fig. 22g View FIGURES 22 ). Molecular data confirmed a sister-group relationship between H. vedrasi and H. jaechiana , with both species included in the H. gracilis macro-clade ( Trizzino et al. 2011b).

Hydraena (Haenydra) epeirosi Ferro 1985: 91 View in CoL .

Male habitus: Fig. 22c View FIGURES 22 ; male genitalia: Fig. 22f View FIGURES 22 ; female elytral apex: Fig. 22l View FIGURES 22 ; geographic range: Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 .

Type locality: Greece, Ioannina province, Mètsovon, 900 m a.s.l. (“ Epiro, Mètsovon [ Ioànnina ]”: Ferro 1985) .

Primary types: Holotype at CFT.

Measurements: Length: 2.5 – 2.7 mm. EL/EW = 1.70; PW/PL = 1.35; PW/EW = 0.76.

Diagnosis: Body red to reddish brown. Palps and legs pale reddish brown. Labrum with a deep V-shaped notch on anterior margin. Clypeus shiny sparsely punctured, frons shiny, not densely punctate. Pronotum sub-hexagonal, wider than longer. Pronotal disc convex, densely punctate near anterior and posterior margin, along midline and at posterior foveae. Elytra elongate and parallel - sided, explanate margin of elytra narrow and not reaching apex. Elytral apex obtusely truncate in male, markedly sinuate (resembling H. lazica and H. bononiensis ) in female ( Figs. 22c,l View FIGURES 22 ). Male metatibiae with a moderately prominent dilatation in the inner edge of distal third, and with a fringe of relatively long setae along mesal face of distal half.

Taxonomic position and diagnostic characters: This seemingly isolated species is distinct from other " Haenydra " by means of body colouration (suggesting a somewhat similarity with H. decolor and allies), the peculiar elytral shape (particularly female) and male genitalia, crowning with a notably thin, minutely spiralized flagellum, longer than the whole body ( Fig. 22f View FIGURES 22 ), suggesting closer relationships with H. lazica and allies. Finally, molecular analyses placed H. epeirosi in a basal position within the H. gracilis macro-clade, therefore excluding close relationships both with H. decolor and with H. lazica ( Trizzino et al. 2011b) .

Habitat: This species lives in cold fastflowing streams with relatively abundant vegetal debris and carbonatic substrates, between 900 and 1400 m a.s.l., especially in canyons. HER: eu23; eu37.

Chorotype: GRNW (NW Greek Endemic).

Distribution: EUR: GR, GR-Peloponnesus ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 ).

H. epeirosi , so far known only from a few localities in NW Greece, was recently collected also in N Peloponnesus (see Appendix 2 for all the detailed known localities).

DNA data: For this species, mtDNA data (COI, 16S rDNA, tRNA leu and NAD1) are available in GenBank ( Trizzino et al. 2011b).

Type locality: As stated by Jäch (1995), the type material was very probably collected by Phillip-Wilbrand- Jacob Müller (1772–1851) near Odenbach an der Gian, Pfalz [= Palatinate], Rheinland-Pfalz, southwest Germany (“Habitat in territorio Rheni bavarico”: Germar 1824) .

Primary types: As suggested by Jäch (1995), the type series of H. gracilis was probably destroyed.

Measurements: Length: 2.2 – 2.4 mm. EL/EW = 1.85; PW/PL = 1.38; PW/EW = 0.95.

Diagnosis: Body dark brown to black. Palps and legs pale reddish brown. Labrum with a V-shaped notch on anterior margin. Clypeus shiny, frons densely and regularly punctate. Pronotum sub-hexagonal, relatively wide. Pronotal disc convex, densely punctate near anterior and posterior margin, along midline and at posterior foveae. Elytra convex, distinctly elongate, parallel - sided. Elytral apex conjointly rounded in male, with a more or less prominent sutural notch in female ( Figs. 24a,m View FIGURES 24 ). Elytral margin slightly explanate. Male pro-, meso- and metatibiae not dilated; male metatibiae with a fringe of long setae along mesal face of distal half.

Taxonomic position and diagnostic characters: Easily recognizable among all " Haenydra " by the markedly elongate and narrow (" gracilis ") elytra ( Fig. 24a,m View FIGURES 24 ). Distinct from its closest allies (members of H. gracilis complex; table 1) by the outline (in lateral view) of the aedeagal main piece, especially in the apical half ( Fig. 24c View FIGURES 24 ). Easily distinguishable from H. crepidoptera and H. graciloides also by means of female elytral shape ( Fig. 24m View FIGURES 24 ).

Taxonomic position and diagnostic characters: Distinct from H. gracilis and allies by the more elongate and explanate male elytra, and the differently shaped female elytral apex, characterized by a markedly prominent Vshaped sutural notch ( Fig. 24o View FIGURES 24 ).

Furthermore, H. graciloides is distinguishable from other species of the H. gracilis complex ( Table 1; Jäch 1995a) by the outline (in lateral view) of the aedeagal main piece, which is longer than in any other species of the complex, and is characterized by an obliquely, and not horizontally, truncate apex ( Fig. 24e View FIGURES 24 ).

35. Hydraena nike Jäch 1995

Hydraena (Haenydra) nike Jäch 1995a: 188 View in CoL .

Male genitalia: Fig. 24h View FIGURES 24 ; female elytral apex: Fig. 24r View FIGURES 24 ; geographic range: Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 .

Type locality: Greece, Thrakia , Samothraki Island , Fonias River , ca. 3 km SE Therma (“ Fonias [=murderer] River , ca. 3km SE Therma, Samothraki Island, Thrakia, northern Greece ”: Jäch 1995a) .

Primary types: Holotype at NMW.

Measurements: Length: 2.1 – 2.2 mm. EL/EW = 1.85; PW/PL = 1.38; PW/EW = 0.95.

Diagnosis: Male habitus identical to H. gracilis ( Fig. 24a View FIGURES 24 ).

Taxonomic position and diagnostic characters: See differential diagnosis of H. gracilis .

Habitat: This species was collected in a notably small fastflowing stream. HER: eu23.

Chorotype: THRA (Thracian Endemic).

Distribution: EUR: GR-Samothraki ( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 ).

H. nike is presently known from a single stream in Samothraki island. Otherwise, Jäch (1995) reported that ca. 20 specimens from NE Turkey agree with the types of H. nike sp.n. in the shape of the apical half of aedeagal main piece, even if with considerable larger sizes (0.48–0.52 µm). Deeper studies are required, but, as Jäch (1995) underlined, these Turkish specimens probably could not belong to H. nike because of the huge geographic distance between Samothraki and NE Turkey (see Appendix 2 for all the detailed known localities). Moreover, in a recent trip in N Turkey (including NE) by the authors, specimens belonging to the related H. anatolica were exclusively collected, whereas no specimens of H. cfr. nike were found.

DNA data: No data.

Pronotum sub-hexagonal, notably wide and convex. Pronotal disc strongly convex, densely punctate near anterior and posterior margin, along midline and at posterior foveae. Elytra elongate, completely parallel - sided, with elytral margin distinctly widely explanate. Elytral apex conjointly rounded in male, with a notably prominent V-shaped sutural notch in female ( Figs. 24b,s View FIGURES 24 ). Male pro-, meso- and metatibiae not dilated; male metatibiae with a fringe of long setae along mesal face of distal half.

Taxonomic position and diagnostic characters: Easily diagnosed from other species of the H. gracilis complex ( Table 1; Jäch 1995a) by the wide and convex pronotum, the widely explanate elytral margin, the prominent sutural notch in female elytral apex, and the differently shaped aedeagal main piece ( Figs. 24b,l,s View FIGURES 24 ). Finally, females of H. crepidoptera can be distinguished from females of H. sinope and H. septemlacuum by its more prominent elytral sutural notch ( Fig. 24s View FIGURES 24 ).

Chorotype: ANAN (N Anatolian Endemic).

Distribution: AS: TR ( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 ).

Type locality: Italy, Trentino Alto Adige, Bolzano province , SW of Bolzano , Mendel Pass (“ Passo di Mendola [Mendel Pass], southwest of Bolzano [Bolzen], Trentino Alto-Adige, northern Italy ”: Jäch & Díaz 2000) .

Primary types: Holotype at NMW.

Measurements: Length: 1.95 – 2.2 mm. EL/EW = 1.52; PW/PL = 1.45; PW/EW = 0.76.

Diagnosis: Body dark brown to black. Palps and legs pale reddish brown. Labrum with very deep V-shaped notch on anterior margin. Fronto - clypeal suture slightly arcuate, strongly impressed, frons densely and rugosely punctate in lateral regions. Pronotum slightly cordiform, wider than long, with anterior margin concave and lateral margin denticulate. Pronotal disc convex, densely punctate near anterior and posterior margin, along midline and at posterior foveae. Elytra elongate, parallel - sided, rather strongly declivitous laterally. Explanate margin of elytra relatively wide; elytral apex conjointly rounded in male, with a more or less prominent V-shaped sutural notch in female ( Figs. 26a,o,p View FIGURES 26 ). Male pro-, meso- and metatibiae not dilated; male metatibiae with a fringe of long setae along mesal face of distal half.

Taxonomic position and diagnostic characters: Distinct from other members of the H. emarginata complex ( Table 1; Trizzino et al. 2011a) by the differently shaped aedeagal main piece, characterized by an obliquely truncate apex, and a dorsal margin of apical half gently emarginate ( Fig. 26d,e View FIGURES 26 ).

Furthermore, the distal lobe of the aedeagus of H. larissae is extremely variable in size, with some specimens characterized by a large distal lobe ( Fig. 26e View FIGURES 26 ), resembling H. emarginata , whereas others characterized by a smaller distal lobe ( Fig. 26d View FIGURES 26 ), resembling H. saga . Specimens showing the morphotype with distal lobe "large" were found solely in the W portion of the species geographic range (NW Italy, Piedmont), although in some cases (e.g. Mt. Viso and Oropa; NMW) were collected together with specimens showing a "small" aedeagal distal lobe.

The absence of a complete geographic separation among populations showing the two morphotypes, and the resulting intra-populational variability, do not allow to regard now the two aedeagal morphotypes as belonging to two different species. Anyway, preliminary molecular analyses ( Trizzino et al. 2011b) suggested that H. larissae , in its present definition, is probably paraphyletic: in fact, populations of this species from NE Italy were found to be more related to H. tarvisina (NE Italy, Veneto) than to populations from W Alps (Piedmont) of the same species. Further molecular and morphological analyses are therefore needed.

Habitat: This species usually lives in small fastflowing streams, mainly in Fagus forest, between 1000 and 2200 m a.s.l. HER: eu3; eu11.

Chorotype: ALPS (S - Alpine Endemic).

Distribution: EUR: IT - ITA ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 ).

H. larissae is endemic to Italian Alps, from Piemonte to Trentino Alto Adige (see Appendix 2 for all the detailed known localities).

DNA data: For this species, mtDNA data (COI, 16S rDNA, tRNA leu and NAD1) are available in GenBank ( Trizzino et al. 2011a, b; Ribera et al. 2011).
