Seladonia (Vestitohalictus) concinna (Brullé, 1839) and Seladonia (Vestitohalictus) pici (Pérez, 1895)

Seladonia concinna (Brullé, 1839) is considered to be endemic to the Canary Islands, but a sequence from Lanzarote matches sequences of Seladonia pici (Pérez, 1895) from Morocco and Egypt. Moreover, two additional lineages identified only as pici (Morocco and Israel) or aff. pici (Morocco only) were identified. Revisionary work is required in this group to clarify species concepts and distributions. It may be the case that S. concinna is widespread across North Africa, or that S. pici is present also in the Canary Islands and is the source of the sequence that may have been misidentified as S. concinna . Awaiting further research, both S. concinna and S. pici are currently included in the European checklist.
