68 Hemorrhois hippocrepis View in CoL - Probably introduced in Sardinia and possibly also in Pantelleria (Luiselli et al., 2010 [2011]). According to Luiselli et al. (2010) the species is monotypic.A recent study shows that specimens of Pantelleria ( ssp. nigrescens Cattaneo 1985 ) and Sardinia belong to the “eastern mitochondrial clade”, and it supports the hypothesis of an ancient human-mediated introduction in Sardinia, and a recent colonization (human-mediated or through a recent passive dispersion mechanisms) in Pantelleria (Faraone et al., 2020).
