Comparative phylogeographical studies in island archipelagos can reveal lineage-specific differential responses to the geological and climatic history. We analysed patterns of genetic diversity in six codistributed lineages of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) in the central Aegean archipelago which differ in wing deve…

Trehala are unusual insect pupal chambers that are sweet and have been used as human food. They are formed by only four Larinus Dejean species which develop in plant stems. This group is revised taxonomically, and a new key is provided. A new synonymy is proposed: Larinus nidificans Guibourt, 1858 [= Larinus multigutt…
