At a crossroads: Genetic lineages and dispersal routes of (Sulzer, 1776) s.l. (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) in Bulgaria.

The present study fills a knowledge gap in the distribution and genetic variation of populations in the Balkans, by studiyng the representatives of the genus in Bulgaria - Mulsant, 1862, Danilevsky, 2016 and Reitter, 1894. Additional information is provided for Albania and northern Greece. The mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) marker and the nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) were used for the genetic analyses.
