03FB87BBAC397A16FCDF75F7FD2C5D09.taxon	discussion	Monophyletic in the phylogenies based on nuclear and mitochondrial markers. Minimum uncorrected p - distances are 2.55 % (ITS 2) and 3.79 % (COI) with respect to M. alta and 2.53 % (ITS 2) and 2.96 % (COI) with respect to M. proteides. Morphometric analyses of the genitalia separate M. proto from the other species well. It can be distinguished from M. proteides by the long gnathos, sometimes with the tip rounded. Compared with M. alta and M. proteides, it has a wider dorsal process of the cucullus. No diagnostic traits in the wings to distinguish it from M. alta and M. proteides were observed, although no morphometric analyses were performed.	en	Hinojosa, Joan C., Dapporto, Leonardo, Brockmann, Ernst, Dincă, Vlad, Tikhonov, Valentin, Grishin, Nick, Lukhtanov, Vladimir A., Vila, Roger (2021): Overlooked cryptic diversity in Muschampia (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) adds two species to the European butterfly fauna.

03FB87BBAC3B7A19FF5A76E8FD70596B.taxon	discussion	Monophyletic in the phylogenies based on nuclear and mitochondrial markers, which show that this taxon is sister to M. proteides. Minimum uncorrected p - distances are 2.55 % (ITS 2) and 3.79 % (COI) with respect to M. proto and 2.87 % (ITS 2) and 2.08 % (COI) with respect to M. proteides. It can be distinguished from M. proteides by the long gnathos. Morphometrics of the male genitalia highlights differences in the cucullus with respect to M. proto and M. proteides, in particular a smaller dorsal process of the cucullus. No diagnostic traits in the wings to distinguish it from M. proto and M. proteides were observed, although no morphometric analyses were performed.	en	Hinojosa, Joan C., Dapporto, Leonardo, Brockmann, Ernst, Dincă, Vlad, Tikhonov, Valentin, Grishin, Nick, Lukhtanov, Vladimir A., Vila, Roger (2021): Overlooked cryptic diversity in Muschampia (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) adds two species to the European butterfly fauna.

03FB87BBAC3B7A19FF5A76E8FD70596B.taxon	distribution	Distribution: Sicily, southern Italian Peninsula and Balkan Peninsula. It is probable that the species is also present in the western Aegean Islands.	en	Hinojosa, Joan C., Dapporto, Leonardo, Brockmann, Ernst, Dincă, Vlad, Tikhonov, Valentin, Grishin, Nick, Lukhtanov, Vladimir A., Vila, Roger (2021): Overlooked cryptic diversity in Muschampia (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) adds two species to the European butterfly fauna.

03FB87BBAC347A19FF65722CFE195D74.taxon	discussion	Nuclear and mitochondrial markers displayed differences with respect to M. proto and M. alta. We recover it as monophyletic in the phylogeny based on ITS 2. However, it is paraphyletic with respect to M. alta in the COI phylogeny. Minimum uncorrected p - distances are 2.87 % (ITS 2) and 2.08 % (COI) with respect to M. alta and 2.53 % (ITS 2) and 2.96 % (COI) with respect to M. proto. The gnathos of the male genitalia is typically wide and short, a character useful to differentiate it from M. proto and M. alta. No diagnostic traits in the wings to distinguish it from M. proto and M. alta were observed, although no morphometric analyses were performed.	en	Hinojosa, Joan C., Dapporto, Leonardo, Brockmann, Ernst, Dincă, Vlad, Tikhonov, Valentin, Grishin, Nick, Lukhtanov, Vladimir A., Vila, Roger (2021): Overlooked cryptic diversity in Muschampia (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) adds two species to the European butterfly fauna.

03FB87BBAC347A19FF65722CFE195D74.taxon	distribution	Distribution: From eastern Europe (Ukraine, southwestern Russia), Anatolia and Israel to the northeastern coast of the Caspian Sea and Iran. Its distribution further east is unclear. We confirm its presence in the Greek islands of Symi and Tilos, which suggests that it is the only species of the triplet found in the eastern Aegean Islands.	en	Hinojosa, Joan C., Dapporto, Leonardo, Brockmann, Ernst, Dincă, Vlad, Tikhonov, Valentin, Grishin, Nick, Lukhtanov, Vladimir A., Vila, Roger (2021): Overlooked cryptic diversity in Muschampia (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) adds two species to the European butterfly fauna.
