Hi Peter,
I read the study from Renoult/Geniez2009 again and indeed their P. liolepis with the "Valencia clade" corresponds geographically with the Northern range of the P. hispanica "sensu strictu" from Kaliontzopoulou2011.
I have however my questionmarks about the populations of this last lineage ( P. h. s.s. from Kaliontzopoulou ) in Central Natural Park of Sierra de Segura, the Population of La Calahorra and a few isolated populations to the SE of the Segura mountain range.
In Renoult/Geniez they mention the "Valencia clade" in the Sierra Maria de Nieva, but were not morphologically different from their hispanicus ( Galera by Kaliontzopoulou ). They don't mention any other "Valencia clade" in the area. It is surely impossible to sample all populations in the area and the study is in many ways still taking place, but the Adults I saw in La Calahorra look diferent from the Galera type. They also look quite different from your P. h. ss from Nacimiento del Guadalquivir while grouped ( lineage ) toghether by Kaliontzopoulou,
Kaliontzopoulou would consider the La Calahorra, Nacimiento del Guadalquivir and the one I saw in Nacimiento del rio Mundo as belonging to the same Lineage correct?
I am curious about you opinion!
I saw no juveniles, I wonder if it would have helped. Maybe we all have to back.....
Greetings
