Introduction

Materials and methods

Results

Inter- and intraspecies variation of mitochondrial COI gene
The wsp gene variation
Concordance of mitochondrial and nuclear markers in Leptidea sinapis vs L. juvernica
Correlation of molecular markers and morphological characters in the group L. sinapis + L. juvernica

Discussion

Genetic integrity of the species L. sinapis and L. juvernica in the studied location
Insufficiency of morphological and colorational characters for identification of the species L. sinapis and L. juvernica
Overlapping lengths of genital structures of Leptidea sinapis and L. juvernica
Variability of common markers versus conservation of histone H1 gene
Three wsp alleles in four Leptidea species
