“…() includes a set of species related to P. subglobosa from eastern Europe and western Asia (Leo & Fattorini, ). These sets of species are quite homogeneous morphologically (see Solier, ; Kraatz, ; Sénac, 1887; Reitter, ; Kwieton, , ) and we do not see any justification for not retaining them within Camphonota in its current sense. These species are P. akbesiana Fairmaire, 1884, P. anatolica Reitter, 1915, P. asperula Solier, 1836, P. lendli Kaszab, 1940, P. monikovae Kwieton, 1982, P. phymatodes Solier, 1836, P. praetermissa Sénac, 1887, P. puncticollis Reitter, 1915, P. repleta Reitter, 1915, P. sericella Solier, 1836, P. testudo Kraatz, 1865 and P. timarchoides Ménétriés, 1836.…”

“…Based on their morphological traits (e.g. Sénac, 1884; Reitter, ; Koch, ; Antoine, ), P. consonbrina and P. subquadrata could also be included in Pimelia s.s.; however, their final assignment to this subgenus requires further molecular studies.…”

“…Pronotum with a little toothed margins and head tilted’. Reitter () added for the synonym Eurypimelia that the humeral costae, if present, always approach closely to the lateral one, and posterior tibiae with their lower edges marked. Kwieton () completed its description by adding: ‘Body suborbicular.…”

“…Morphological characters were studied under the stereomicroscope using dry mounted specimens. We reviewed the main diagnostic characters used by previous authors: shape and body appearance; shape and size of head, pronotum and elytra; antennal length, thickness and pilosity; sculpture and pilosity of pronotum; development of a lateral rim on the pronotum sides; elytral macrosculpture, including number and arrangement of elytral ridges, sculpture and pilosity of elytral intervals; relative length and width of the intercoxal projection of the first abdominal sternite; sculpture of the abdominal sternites; shape and pilosity of the meso‐ and metatarsal segments; and mesotibial spur length in some cases (Solier, ; Kraatz, ; Sénac, 1884, ; Reitter, ; Koch, ; Antoine, ; Español, , ; Kwieton, ; Pierre, ; Viñolas, ; Viñolas & Cartagena, ; Castro Tovar & Ferrer, ; Ferrer & Castro Tovar, ).…”

“…However, defining diagnostic characters for the group has proven difficult (see, e.g., Koch, , ; Antoine, ; Kwieton, ). Additionally, some of the original descriptions of species of Pimelia are incomplete or without type locality, and some type specimens are no longer available for study (Olivier, ; Herbst, ; Waltl, ; Reitter, ).…”

The genus Pimelia Fabricius is the most speciose in the tribe Pimeliini (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). It consists of approximately 320 species distributed mainly in xeric environments in the western Palaearctic region and northern deserts in the Afrotropical region. Pimelia is a very heterogenous group despite its conserved morphology. Based on two mitochondrial (cox1 and 16S) and five nuclear markers (ITS1, ITS2, 18S, Wg and H3), we carried out a phylogenetic and biogeographic study to: (i) provide a comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis for the relationships within Pimelia; (ii) re‐evaluate the taxonomic status and organization of clades (subgenera) within the genus; and (iii) establish a temporal framework and historical scenario for the evolution and diversification of Pimelia in the western Mediterranean Region. Pimelia presents a high degree of morphological conservatism and possibly stasis, often resulting in complexes of cryptic species. Repetitive patterns of variation are found recurrently between and within groups, which resulted in a conundrum of nonmonophyletic taxonomic assemblages based on morphological homoplastic characters. Based on our results, we propose a new taxonomic arrangement for Pimelia with 14 clades, treated as subgenera, with the description of six new subgenera: Iberomelia subgen.n., Italomelia subgen.n., Magrebmelia subgen.n., Hispanomelia subgen.n., Massadraamelia subgen.n. and Amblypteraca subgen.n. Our results also indicate an Oligocene (Rupelian) origin for Pimelia, and North Africa as the most likely area of origin. The complex geological and climatic history in the western Mediterranean region has shaped the distribution and diversity of species in the area. The current faunal assemblages observed in Pimelia are the result of complex patterns of recurrent processes of dispersal and vicariance, including in situ diversification through time in different areas of the Mediterranean basin. Pimelia is a fascinating yet very challenging group, and the phylogenetic and systematic framework developed here will pave the way for further ecological, taxonomic, and evolutionary studies at local and regional scales.

The geographic distribution of a species is shaped by its biology and by environmental and palaeogeographic factors that interact at different spatial-temporal scales, which leads to distributions and diversification patterns observed between and within lineages. The darkling beetle genus Pimelia has been diversifying for more than 31.2 Mya showing different colonization patterns after the opening of the Gibraltar Strait 5 Mya. Three of the 14 subgenera of Pimelia have populations on both sides of the Strait. Through extensive sampling and the analysis of three molecular markers, we determine levels of intra- and interspecific genetic variation, identify evolutionary lineages in subgenera, estimate their temporal origin and distribution ranges and discuss the historical basis for the geographic and diversification patterns of Pimelia around the Strait. This single geographical feature acted both as a barrier and as a dispersal route for different Pimelia species. The Strait has represented a strong barrier for the subgenus Magrebmelia since the Middle Miocene. However, the subgenera Amblyptera and Amblypteraca share repetitive signatures of post-Messinian colonization across the Strait, possibly driven by stochastic or ‘catastrophic’ events such as tsunamis. Our demographic analyses support Wallace’s hypothesis on insect dispersal stochasticity. Some taxonomic changes, including the designation of a lectotype for Pimelia maura, are also proposed.
