Annotation: The taxonomy of the Ophrys fusca group (here understood excluding O. iricolor and its derivatives) is still in an unconsolidated and confusing state. The Ionian Islands exhibit only a small part of the variability presented in the Mediterranean as a whole as regards visual (as well as tactile and chemical) patterns of the flower and pollinating insects. Inspite of numerous contributions, our present knowledge is still too fragmentary to present a confident synopsis of the individual taxa (usually classified as species), and their distribution even in that limited region. Earlier records cannot usually be associated with any valid taxon without documented photographs and additional information, and conflicting views of authors as well as changing names add to confusion. The most recent and thorough investigation (Paulus & Hirth 2014) has shown that at least 4 taxa (each with a different pollinator) may be observed on the Ionian Islands: O. forestieri [O. lupercalis], O. leucadica, O. perpusilla, and O. punctulata [»O. leucadica« of other authors in part]. It has to be shown whether this concept covers the variability of this complex within the region, and can be applied to further investigations. [2016-01-17]
