“…Still, until the discovery of C. altaica , found in two localities at the south of Eastern Europe (Romanov and Vishnyakov, in press), only one species of the section Desvauxia, i.e., C. canescens , was known from Europe. This species is represented in Europe mostly by parthenogenetic populations with a few sexually reproducing ones found in France, Italy (Sicily, Sardinia), Greece, Austria, and Serbia (Krause 1997, Nowak et al 2019, Sabovljević et al 2022). Outside Europe, sexually reproducing populations are reported from North Africa (Morocco), Central Asia, West Siberia, and China (Hollerbach and Krassavina 1983, Fushan and Yaoying 1994, Nowak et al 2019, Romanov unpubl.…”
