From: Biogeography of Italy revisited: genetic lineages confirm major phylogeographic patterns and a pre-Pleistocene origin of its biota

Overview of 17 predefined areas across Italy: A: Po Plain; B: Ligurian and northern Tyrrhenian area; C: central Adriatic, D: central Tyrrhenian area, E: Tavoliere and Gargano (and surrounding areas); F: southern Tyrrhenian area, G: Murge (and surrounding areas); H: Salentine peninsula; I: Sila; K: Serre; L: Aspromonte; M: northwestern Sicily; N: northeastern Sicily; O: southern Sicily; P: southern Sardinia; R: northern Sardinia; S: Corsica. Predefined areas use mountain ranges as divides, but their pattern is also more fine-grained in regions that should be more relevant for the diversification of a species into different genetic lineages due to their geologic history (see text)
