Drasteria cailino cailino ( Lefèbvre, 1827)

Distribution. South Europe ( Portugal, Spain, S. France, Italy, Sicily, Balkan Peninsula).

Remark. The closely related species, D. philippina (Austaut, 1800) , described with type locality “…dans la province d’Oran…” in Algeria, we do not review (it is out of the studied territory). However, two samples of it were mined from BOLD and used in our analysis ( Fig. 327 ). The analysis clearly showed its species status because both samples occupied separate position with big distance on the phylogenetic tree.

Material examined (in total: 15 specimens). Croatia: 1 ♂, Dalmatia , leg. unknown, ex coll. Diakonoff ( ZISP) . France: 2 ♂, Gall. mer., leg. unknown, ex coll. Acad. Petrop. ( ZISP) ; 2 ♂, 5 ♀, Digne , leg. M. Bartel, ex coll. O. John ( ZISP) . Greece: 1 ♂, 1 ♀, Graecia , ex coll. N. Filipyev ( ZISP) ; 1 ♂, 1 ♀, 12.06.1865, Parnass , leg. unknown, ex coll. Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich ( ZISP) . Hungary: 1 ♂, Vengria , ex coll. O. John ( ZISP) .
