Genus Anthonomus Germar, 1817 The samples of the genus Anthonomus form a strongly supported monophyletic group in both our analyses (Fig. 1, Supp. 1). The Swiss populations of the speciespair Anthonomus rubi (Herbst, 1795) / brunnipennis Curtis, 1840 were investigated. There is some ambiguity about the status of A. brunnipennis in the Alps. The species shows a supposedly boreoalpine distribution (Germann, 2010b) and lives on Dryas octopetala, a boreoalpine cushion plant, and in northern Europe it lives also on Filipendula ulmaria L., Potentilla palustris L. and P. erecta L. Anthonomus rubi on the other side is a widespread species living on different Rosaceae, but also Cistaceae. Both species are very difficult to separate based on morphological traits, which overlap largely. The finds of brunnipennis from Switzerland were preliminarily termed as somewhat doubtful and a molecular re-investigation was suggested (Germann, 2010b, 2011a). We here included a heterogeneous set of samples collected from the ... : Published as part of Christoph Germann, Sofia Wyler & Marco Valerio Bernasconi, 2017, DNA barcoding of selected alpine beetles with focus on Curculionoidea (Coleoptera), pp. 15-38 in Revue suisse de Zoologie 124 (1) on pages 17-21, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.322661 ...
