Reitter, 1905. The distribution of all taxa is mapped, based on material examined. Geometric morphometric methods were used to evaluate shape variability in <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>
</named-content>
</italic>
. Results indicated sexual dimorphism in all species. Shape inconsistency was found between the sexes of all taxa when tested independently. The first two relative warp axes indicated 65.17% shape variation in males and 65.72% in females. Canonical variate analysis separated the taxa studied. There was minimal overlap between some groups in both sexes. Differences in body shape between populations of <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>
<named-content content-type="species">laevigata</named-content>
</named-content>
</italic>
from Central Europe, Italy and Greece + Turkey were also examined. Relative warps implied 58.01% shape variability on both axes in males and 64.78% in females. CVA revealed noticeable overlaps between the groups, although the Italian population demonstrated a higher separation in both sexes.</p>

Reitter, 1905. The distribution of all taxa is mapped, based on material examined. Geometric morphometric methods were used to evaluate shape variability in <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>
</named-content>
</italic>
. Results indicated sexual dimorphism in all species. Shape inconsistency was found between the sexes of all taxa when tested independently. The first two relative warp axes indicated 65.17% shape variation in males and 65.72% in females. Canonical variate analysis separated the taxa studied. There was minimal overlap between some groups in both sexes. Differences in body shape between populations of <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>
<named-content content-type="species">laevigata</named-content>
</named-content>

from Central Europe, Italy and Greece + Turkey were also examined. Relative warps implied 58.01% shape variability on both axes in males and 64.78% in females. CVA revealed noticeable overlaps between the groups, although the Italian population demonstrated a higher separation in both sexes.</p>

<p>In this study, we revise the taxonomy of the genus. We provide new lectotype designations and synonymies based on morphological characters and using the valuable technique of geometric morphometrics on the adult beetle’s body shape. These methods helped us to distinguish taxa and understand variation within and between populations. Based on the material examined, we further summarize information about the precise distribution of the taxa.</p>

(5 males, 8 females). Moreover, three groups representing populations of <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>

were tested: one population from Greece and Turkey (26 males, 37 females), a population from Italy (39 males, 33 females), and one from Central Europe (Austria, Hungary and one specimen from the Czech Republic) (35 males, 33 females). Images were captured using an Olympus digital reflex camera (model E-330) connected to an Olympus stereoscopic microscope (model SZX7) and combined body length of pronotum and elytra was measured.</p>
<p>The geometric morphometric analysis was performed using the thin-plate spline (TPS) package; available free at <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/index.html">http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/index.html</ext-link>
(<xref rid="B44" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf 2014</xref>
). This technique utilizes coordinates of specific locations called landmarks that are precise points on each specimen describing the overall shape and representing the specimen’s morphology (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">Bookstein 1982</xref>
, <xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">1986</xref>
, <xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">1989</xref>
and <xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">1991</xref>
).</p>
<p>In TpsDig 2.10 (<xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf 2006</xref>
) the “draw background curves” tool was employed to digitize a curve that outlined only the left half of the pronotum and the left elytron formed from 55 points. The homology of these points on all samples and their reliability in demonstrating the highest shape variability was considered (<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">Bookstein 1991</xref>
, <xref rid="B56" ref-type="bibr">Slice 2007</xref>
). The curve points were converted into landmarks using TpsUtil 1.44 (<xref rid="B41" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf 2009</xref>
) for further analysis.</p>
<p>Landmarks were then superimposed by generalized Procrustes analysis, which allows calculating variability between the taxa after aligning their landmark configurations in a specific process that ensures homology (<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf 1990</xref>
, <xref rid="B39" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf and Slice 1990</xref>
, <xref rid="B38" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf and Marcus 1993</xref>
, <xref rid="B59" ref-type="bibr">Zelditch et al. 1995</xref>
). This was conducted in TpsRelw 1.53 (<xref rid="B42" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf 2013</xref>
). Relative warp analysis was also performed, wherein the relative warps (RWs) are transformations that express the patterns of shape variation among the specimens and visualize it using D’Arcy Thompson’s transformation grids. The deformations in the grids represent the shape changes (<xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf 1993</xref>
, <xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">Richtsmeier et al. 2002</xref>
, <xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">Adams et al. 2004</xref>
, <xref rid="B61" ref-type="bibr">Zelditch et al. 2012</xref>
).</p>
<p>Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and discriminant analysis (DA) were applied on the relative warp scores matrix to test the significance of the variations between groups (taxa/sexes), and canonical variate analysis (CVA) was performed to illustrate these differences (<xref rid="B60" ref-type="bibr">Zelditch et al. 2004</xref>
, <xref rid="B61" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). Graphical visualization of the CVA results was also made. All of the preceding analyses were executed in PAST ver. 2.11; freeware available for download at <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://folk.uio.no/ohammer/past/">http://folk.uio.no/ohammer/past/</ext-link>
(<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">Hammer et al. 2001</xref>
).</p>
<p>Geometric morphometrics employs centroid size rather than linear size in calculations associated with allometry (which is the influence size has on shape) (<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">Bookstein 1991</xref>
; <xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">Klingenberg 2010</xref>
, <xref rid="B60" ref-type="bibr">Zelditch et al. 2004</xref>
, <xref rid="B61" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). The natural logarithm of centroid size was used here, as it increases the statistical power <pmc-comment>PageBreak</pmc-comment>
(<xref rid="B58" ref-type="bibr">Viscoci and Cardini 2011</xref>
). The taxon groups were first tested independently. Furthermore, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used in the size correction when comparing groups to test its effect on body shape. In this analysis, the log of centroid size was used as the covariate. TpsRegr 1.38 (<xref rid="B43" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf 2011</xref>
) was applied to calculate this influence and run permutation tests (<xref rid="B37" ref-type="bibr">Rohlf 1998</xref>

taxa were calculated and plotted on an axis system. The first RW (RW1) axis represented 44.25% of shape variability and the second axis (RW2) accounted for 20.22%. Subsequently, discriminant analysis (DA) was applied between the sexes on the first 30 axes representing 99.94% of variability. The results indicated shape sexual dimorphism (Hotelling’s test: 444.2, <italic>F</italic>
: 14.071, <italic>p</italic>
< 0.0001). Specimens correctly classified to their means showed a percentage of 82.59.</p>
<p>Male groups of the four taxa were tested independently and RW1 accounted for 44.74% of the total variance whereas RW2 accounted for 20.43%. A higher 46.98% of variability was explained by the RW1 axis in females and 18.73% by RW2. Both scatter plots of the two first RWs for male and female <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>

displayed a high overlap between the groups of the different taxa. The thin-plate spline (TPS) transformation grids (not included in the article) indicated some shape differences between the taxa especially in <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>

<named-content content-type="species">laevigata</named-content>
</named-content>
</italic>
the posterior pronotal margins appeared more rounded (semi-elliptical) and the elytra were more robust than the other taxa particularly in the females, whereas the pronotal shape of <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>

</named-content>

was more narrowed to the front (conical).</p>
<p>Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was performed on the four groups. The results indicated significant shape variations, but the separations between the groups were weak, given that the number of <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>
<named-content content-type="species">subtriangula</named-content>
</named-content>

<named-content content-type="species">subtriangula</named-content>
</named-content>

samples to obtain a clearer separation.</p>
<p>Shape diversity of both pronotum and elytra between the three taxa was indicated by MANOVA. Male groups revealed significant shape differences (<italic>F</italic>
= 32.93; Wilk’s lambda = 0.0784; DF = 40/512; <italic>p</italic>
< 0.00001). Female groups demonstrated higher body shape variability (<italic>F</italic>

< 0.00001).</p>
<p>Two individual canonical variate analyses (CVA) for males and females (separately) were performed to obtain separation of the four groups on the first 20 axes of the RW scores matrix. These axes covered 99.81% of the shape variation between male groups and 99.82% between female groups. Results indicated no overlap between <italic><named-content content-type="taxon-name"><named-content content-type="genus">Ablattaria</named-content>

<p>Since allometry was significant in most taxa groups, size correction was provided by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). This tool indicates if variation in shape is a result of size difference alone. MANCOVA was applied on male and female groups of the four taxa. Results suggested a significant interaction between body shape and body size (Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T3">3</xref>
). Permutation tests with 1000 random permutations demonstrated a <italic>p</italic>
-value of 0.00021 in males and 0.00087 in females. Considering that the percentage explained by size was 16.09% in males and 11.14% in females, some effect on the body shape variability between the taxa can be observed.</p>

has such a wide ranging geographical distribution, it was interesting to examine the species’ body changes in various populations. Three different populations were studied: one from Greece and Turkey (Gr. & Tr.), a population from Italy (It.), and a population from Central Europe (CE) (geographic origins of examined specimens are summarized in Fig. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">33</xref>
). Relative warps were calculated in male and female populations separately and plotted on an axis system. The RW1 axis of males corresponded to 39.02% and RW2 to 18.99% of shape variability. In females, RW1 indicated 43.87% of shape variation and RW2 indicated 20.91%. TPS transformation grids (not included in the article) showed little shape variability; the elytra appeared, in general, more parallel in the Greek and Turkish populations. Populations from Italy had a more arched elytra and the pronotum was slightly broader (Figs <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">7</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">8</xref>
).</p>
<p>MANOVA was performed subsequently. Male populations revealed significant shape dissimilarity (<italic>F</italic>
= 10.35; Wilk’s lambda = 0.121; DF = 30/166; <italic>p</italic>
< 0.00001). Shape variability was found to be also significant in the female populations (<italic>F</italic>
= 8.337; Wilk’s lambda = 0.166; DF = 30/172; <italic>p</italic>
< 0.00001). Canonical variate analysis on the first 15 axes was performed and represented 99.54% of the shape variation in males and 99.68% in females. Results indicated overlap between all groups (Fig. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F11">35</xref>
). The jackknifed values of the confusion matrix for both sexes are presented in Tables <xref ref-type="table" rid="T4">4</xref>
and <xref ref-type="table" rid="T5">5</xref>
. The most obvious separation was seen in the Italian population, which showed incorrect classification of only 7 specimens in the two sexes taken together of a total 72 specimens. The Central European population showed higher variation in the male than was that in the female populations from Greece and Turkey.</p>
