Uit de Weerd and Edmund Gittenberger}, title = {Towards a monophyletic genus Albinaria: the first molecular study into the phylogenetic position of eastern Albinaria species}, year = {2005}, keywords = {}, doi = {}, url = {}, pmid = {}, journal = {Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society}, volume = {143}, number = {}, pages = {531--542}, abstract = {Recent molecular phylogenetic studies of the terrestrial snail genus Albinaria have caused a radical reassessment of its taxonomy. These studies, however, were limited to western Mediterranean species. This study examines mitochondrial 12S sequences and nuclear ITS1&2 sequences of both eastern and western species, and demonstrates that Albinaria, in its most recent definition, is not monophyletic. Both molecular datasets place 'Albinaria' hedenborgi from Lebanon in a well-supported clade with species of the genus Cristataria, distributed southeast of the vicariant range of Albinaria. The remaining species from Cyprus, Turkey and Greece, constitute a well-supported monophyletic group. These two clades form geographic clusters, whereas Albinaria in the current definition - including 'A.' hedenborgi- has a disjunct distribution. 'Albinaria' hedenborgi should therefore be classified with Cristataria, together with the morphologically similar and geographically close 'A.' nadimi.} }
