“…In current taxonomy there is a complex of species A. simplex sensu lato ( Mattiucci et al, 1997 ; Nascetti et al, 1983, 1986 ) which is made up of the three sibling species: A. simplex sensu stricto , A. pegreffii , and A. berlandi ( Mattiucci et al, 2014) . But, according to the available literature data a clear division of species ( A. simplex , A. pegreffii , and A. berlandi ) has been repeatedly demonstrated on phylogenetic trees reconstructed using nuclear ITS rDNA ( Pekmezci et al, 2014 ; Tunya et al, 2020 ) and mitochondrial cox2 gene ( Anshary et al, 2014 ; Barcala et al, 2018 ; Mattiucci et al, 2009 ; Setyobudi et al, 2011 ; Valentini et al, 2006 ) DNA markers, and finally complete mitochondrial genomes ( Yamada et al, 2017 ). Also A. typica (Diesing, 1860) is suspicious with its uncertain position on different phylogenetic reconstructions (Iñiguez et al, 2009; Sardella and Luque, 2016 ).…”
