Dear Hans,
I am curious if anybody tried recently to obtain DNA from the Caucasian and European populations (babajanidesi / europea)? I had a case of poor synonymization in tephritids, Urophora syriaca Hendel 1927 and U. dzieduszyckii Frfld. 1864. Despite the absence of morphological differences, they showed mor than 6% differences in COI gene, which is more than enough for very good and early isolaed, perhaps in Pliocene, species. Now I have to resurrect it again, after 30 years of synonymy. This may be the case of babajanodesi and europea, too, unless the European population was introduced to Hungary and Serbia in XX century.
