DISCUSSION H. capsincola is a very frequent and widely distributed species in Hungary, but the presence and distribution of H. bicruris can be characterised as a form of a hybrid population. The population(s) of a sporadically distributed H. bicruris seem to be "dissolved" within the populations of the common H. capsincola (see Fig. 8) and the overlapping areas of the two closely related species produced a rather wide zone of hybridisation in Hungary.
