Abstract

The polytypic Cretan land snail Albinaria hippolyti has a range that is partly fragmented and partly subdivided by hybrid zones. For this reason, it has served as a model species for investigating speciation and radiation in Mediterranean Clausiliidae. The first internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA was sequenced in twenty populations of A. hippolyti. The resulting phylogeography can be interpreted in the light of geological data and suggests that the species has undergone an initial, allopatric differentiation into three subspecies during the Pliocene or the late Miocene, followed by a later range expansion, the formation of hybrid zones, and a range reduction in the Pleistocene. At least one more subspecies may have evolved during the latter period. The taxon arthuriana might have been inappropriately classified as an A. hippolyti subspecies.
