The phylogenetic relationships among were investigated using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) regions of the nuclear-encoded ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and compared with morphological and bioclimatic data. The combined analyses of forty-one samples from Algeria and Spain supported four lineages corresponding to four morphological species. Besides the two previously described taxa, and , here we describe and illustrate a new species, sp. nov., which differs from all other by its distinct phylogenetic position and its specific combination of morphological features. We also present a first record of from North Africa (Algeria). Our findings suggest that restrictions imposed by the bioclimatic niche have played a key role in driving the speciation process of along the Mediterranean and Middle East.
