Material examined.
Portugal, Beja • Mértola, Moinho de Alferes 1 , 37.502°N, 7.69°W, 19 May 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco, Ekrem, Stur & Turaccio, 2 ♂ incl. one juv., (both sequenced) GoogleMaps .
Remarks.
The examined males from Moinho de Alferes match the description of A. szalayi , a species originally described from Ribeira d’Odivelas in Portugal ( Lundblad 1956). The sequenced specimens from Portugal clustered within one BIN ( BOLD: ACS 0403), which in addition to the specimens from Portugal, includes a number of specimens collected from a large geographic area, from Norway to South Africa and from the Netherlands to Kyrgyzstan, and that are morphologically assigned to A. bicuspidator Berlese, 1885 , or to A. radiatus Piersig, 1894 . From both species, A. szalayi , at least morphologically, can be easily separated by the characteristic shape of the male petiole (see Lundblad 1956: fig. 161 A). Further research is needed to understand the factors behind this grouping and the implication of this lack of genetic differentiation between three morphological different species.
Distribution.
Portugal; previously reported from Ribeira de Odivelas, Alentejo ( Lundblad 1954, 1956).
