Abstract

A conspicuous entity of the aggregate of Ophrys sphegodes s.l. growing on thenorthern slopes of the volcanic massif of Etna is known since more than 20years. Detailed studies show a singular combination of morphologicalcharacters, differentiating this population slightly from the type-species andother closely related taxa as O. exaltata subsp. exaltata and subsp.panormitana, O. arachnitiformis subsp. archipelagi (incl. O. mateolana,O. cilentana) and O. garganica. Because of these morphological differencesand its singular ecology it is described as Ophrys sphegodes subsp. grassoana.Furthermore two new hybrids are presented, Ophrys exaltata Ophrysgarganica from Niscemi (CL) and O. bertolonii subsp. explanata ×O. holosericea subsp. apulica from the island of Favignana in West Sicily.While the parent areas of the first hybrid overlap largely from Calabria toSicily, the parent areas of the second hybrid according current knowledgeoverlap very restrictivly only on the Egadian Islands.

An den Abhängen des Ätna ist seit ca. 20 Jahren eine auffallende Sippe ausdem Aggregat von Ophrys sphegodes s.l. bekannt. Untersuchungen ihrerMorphologie zeigten, dass diese Sippe eigenständige Merkmale besitzt, sichgeringfügig von der Nominatsippe unterscheidet und nicht andereninfraspezifischen Taxa zugeordnet werden kann. Sie wird als Ophryssphegodes subsp. grassoana neu beschrieben. Des weiteren werden zwei neueBastarde vorgestellt, Ophrys exaltata Ophrys garganica, gefunden beiNiscemi (CL) und O. bertolonii subsp. explanata × O. holosericea subsp.apulica von der Insel Favignana im Westen Siziliens. Während sich die Arealeder Elternarten des ersten Bastards über weite Strecken von Kalabrien undSizilien überlappen, treffen sich die Elternarten des letzteren nach bisherigerKenntnis nur auf den Ägadischen Inseln.
