20.500.12556/RUL-190722 Four new species of the genus Proteus (Amphibia: Proteidae) Štiri nove vrste rodu Proteus (Amphibia: Caudata: Proteidae) The olm, or proteus, has long been treated as a single nominal species, Proteus anguinus Laurenti, 1768. Phylogenetic and population genetic research of the past two decades has revealed that there are in fact nine (9) distinct and mostly allopatric species. Five of them already have names made available by the original describer, Fitzinger in 1850 (P. carrarae, P. freyeri, P. haidingeri), and Sket and Arntzen in 1994 (P. parkelj). In this contribution we describe the remaining four new species – P. sketi from Istria (Croatia), P. bosniacus from Bosanska Krajina (Bosnia and Herzegovina), P. croaticus from Lika (Croatia) and P. scopolii from the subterranean basin of the Reka/Timavo River (Slovenia, Italy). Močeril ali proteus je bil dolgo obravnavan kot ena sama nominalna vrsta, Proteus anguinus Laurenti, 1768. Filogenetske in populacijsko-genetske raziskave preteklih dveh desetletij so pokazale, da dejansko obstaja devet (9) ločenih in večinoma alopatričnih vrst. Pet od njih že ima veljavna imena, ki so jih uvedli prvotni opisovalec, Fitzinger leta 1850 (P. carrarae, P. freyeri, P. haidingeri), ter Sket in Arntzen leta 1994 (P. parkelj). V tem prispevku opisujemo preostale štiri nove vrste: P. sketi iz Istre (Hrvaška), P. bosniacus iz Bosanske krajine (Bosna in Hercegovina), P. croaticus iz Like (Hrvaška) in P. scopolii iz podzemnega porečja Reke/Timava (Slovenija, Italija).
