“…Olympus yielded 22 identified species and one species complex of bumblebees, consisting of three cryptic species. Such a rich bumblebee diversity is comparative with that recorded in a much variable set of temperate habitats in NW Greece surveyed for a wider period of time, which encompassed a total of 29 species out of the 33 currently known for Greece (Anagnostopoulos, 2005(Anagnostopoulos, , 2009(Anagnostopoulos, , 2017; cf.

A b s t r a c t : The recognition of cryptic species represents one of the major challenges in current taxonomy and affects our understanding of global diversity. In practice, the process from discovery to acceptance in the scientific community can take an extensive length of time. A prime example is the traditionally difficult taxonomy of the cryptic bumblebee species belonging to the Bombus lucorumcomplex. The status of the three European species in the group -Bombus lucorum and the closely related Bombus cryptarum and Bombus magnushas recently become widely accepted, primarily due to investigations of nucleotide sequences and marking pheromones. In contrast, doubts prevail concerning the validity of species identification based on morphology. As a consequence, our knowledge of the species is muddled in a mire of unreliable and confusing literature data from a large number of authors over the centuries. To clarify this issue, this paper provides a recapitulation of the historical literature and highlights the milestones in the process of species recognition. Further, the possibility of a morphologically based species identification is discussed in the context of new molecular data. Finally, this review outlines the current challenges and provides directions for future issues. K e y w o r d s :
