ABSTRACT
The genus Erebia is one of the more controversial groups among the Holarctic Lepidoptera. In this genus, composed of around 100 mountain species, the Erebia tyndarus complex has certainly been a major source of debate for more than a century. According to the literature, between 2 and 11 species, and at least 45 subspecies or semi-species have been recognized. For the first time, we provide a complete molecular study, based on the ND5 and CoxII mitochondrial gene sequences, including all the recognized species and 60% of the subspecies of the entire group, with European, Caucasian, Siberian and North-American taxa. Our analyses led us to recognize 11 species even though there was some poor discrimination between Western Europe species. A complete study of the events of speciation is presented in the light of glacial and interglacial cycles during the Pleistocene.
