Introduction
Methods
- Sample collection and storage
- DNA extraction and sequencing
- Phylogenetic inference
- Analysis of karyotype
- Morphometric measurements of habitus (dorsal wing reflectance)
- Statistical analysis of wing morphometrics
Results
- Biotopes and Albanian samples
- Phylogenetic reconstruction
- Karyotyping
  - Polyommatus orphicus from Albania (populations in which the only orph2 haplogroup is present)
  - Polyommatus lurae sp. nov from Albania (populations in which the only aroa3 haplogroup is present)
  - Contact zone with Polyommatus lurae × P. orphicus potential hybrids (area where both orph2 and aroa3 haplogroups are present)
- Distribution of species within P. aroaniensis complex in the Balkans
- Morphometrics of male wings
- Taxonomy
Discussion
- Colour morphometrics, a new method for identification of cryptic Agrodiaetus taxa
- Karyotyping and difference with related taxa
- Taxonomic position and difference from sister taxa
- Conservation of the species and habitat
