Following the trail of Rebel and Misja. A century-later confirmation of Pseudochazara geyeri (Herrich-Schäffer, [1846]) in Albania and a critical reassessment of its Balkan range.
The presence of Pseudochazara geyeri (Herrich-Schäffer, [1846]) in Albania (Misja, 2005) is confirmed, documenting a population on the west-facing slopes of Mali i Thatë (1565–2088 m). The species appears locally abundant and occupies a larger area than previously recognised. The Balkan population, previously described as ssp. occidentalis, is here considered a geographical race to emphasise its disjunct distribution, a status further supported by the limited resolution of available mitochondrial COI data. The species’ occurrence on Mt. Pelister (North Macedonia) is uncertain and is treated as data deficient. Implications for its distribution, conservation status, and management in the Balkans are discussed.
