Abstract
Cover caption: The cover image shows an adult specimen of Euscorpius cf. lagostae, one of the newly discovered cryptic lineages within Euscorpius hadzii species complex which is found at several localities in southern Dalmatia. The phylogenetic analyses revealed two deeply divergent lineages (E. hadzii groups 1 and 2) within E. hadzii s.l., and within the strictly Mediterranean, thermophilic, epigean E. hadzii 1 group (Eh1), two sublineages, Eh1a and Eh1b. The latter corresponds to the population of E. hadzii from Lastovo island (formerly Euscorpius carpaticus lagostae), which is in the present study elevated to species level as Euscorpius lagostae Di Caporiacco, 1950, stat. nov. The high genetic distances in the mitochondrial COI gene found between E. lagostae and Euscorpius cf. lagostae (p-distances up to 5.4 %) imply that latter lineage represents yet another species.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research (JZSER)is a peer-reviewed, international forum for publication of high-quality research on systematic zoology and evolutionary biology. The aim of the journal is to provoke a synthesis of results from morphology, physiology, animal geography, ecology, ethology, evolutionary genetics, population genetics, developmental biology and molecular biology. Besides empirical papers, theoretical contributions and review articles are welcome. Integrative and interdisciplinary contributions are particularly preferred. Purely taxonomic and predominantly cytogenetic manuscripts will not be accepted except in rare cases, and then only at the Editor-in-Chief''s discretion. The same is true for phylogenetic studies based solely on mitochondrial marker sequences without any additional methodological approach. To encourage scientific exchange and discussions, authors are invited to send critical comments on previously published articles. Only papers in English language are accepted.
