Abstract

A phylogeny of the European members of the genus Hydromantes, based on three mitochondrial (12S, 16S, Cytochrome b) and two nuclear genes (Rag-1, BDNF) for 27 populations resolved all eight currently recognized species as monophyletic clades. Relationships among the three main clades, the mainland clade (Hydromantes (Speleomantes) strinatii, H. (S.) ambrosii and H. (S.) italicus), the Eastern Sardinian clade (H. (S.) flavus, H. (S.) supramontis, H. (S.) imperialis and H. (S.) sarrabusensis) and H. (Atylodes) genei from south-west Sardinia, remain poorly resolved. Genetic distances show high levels of differentiation within H. (A.) genei and H. (S.) imperialis.
