Oreonebria K. Daniel, 1903

Both Nebria and Oreonebria are monophyletic and cluster together with good (ML) to strong (NJ) bootstrap support (Fig. 2, Supp. 2). In the case of the high-alpine Nebria cordicollis Chaudoir, 1837 -group, we here included three taxa: N. heeri K. Daniel, 1903, recently raised to species level from a subspecies of cordicollis by Szallies & Huber (2013), N. cordicollis escheri Heer, 1837 from southeastern Switzerland, and N. cordicollis tenuissima Bänninger, 1925, the westernmost populations in the Swiss Alps. All species of the cordicollis -group, as well as N. fontinalis rhaetica K. & J. Daniel, 1890 show conspicuously low interspecific K2 distances (0.002- 0.018; Table 7).

As already mentioned by the authors (Szallies & Huber, 2014) in their very recent description of O. buemlisalpicola, the included samples are clearly separate (K2 distances: intraspecific = 0.0-0.015; interspecific: 0.04-0.043; Table 8) and belong to the eastern distributed Oreonebria bremii, whereas the western ones belong to O. bluemlisalpicola .
