......continued on the next page According to La Greca (1987), “ L’istituzione di una sottospecies è una operazione molto più impegnativa che non quella di istituire una specie ”, (The establishment of a subspecies is much more demanding than that of a new species). Therefore we consider all taxa at the species level and, at the same time, consider it appropriate to create informal species-groups. We have grouped the thirty-nine species resulting from the study in eight informal species-groups (Figures 2A–2H), largely based on morphological characters and soil type preference. The numbers of species in groups and distribution for each species is in parentheses.
