Analyses of DNA sequences of Epimeria from the Antarctic Peninsula, East Weddell Sea and Terre Adélie revealed an unexpected genetic diversity within this species flock. Many formerly recognized species were composed of several clades, identified as putative species by DNA-based delimitation methods...
