Subspecies
(1) Acmaeodera bipunctata bipunctata (Olivier, 1790)
(2) Acmaeodera bipunctata flavopunctata Lucas, 1844
(3) Acmaeodera bipunctata guillebeaui Abeille, 1891

(7) Acmaeodera bipunctata romanoi Sparacio, 1992

The status of the taxon flavopunctata (and its synonym riffensis) is unclear. Volkovitsh (2016) list it as a synonym of the nominate subspecies, whereas Bellamy (2008) regards it as a valid subspecies. Given the fact that the name was given to a population restricted to Algeria, I think that the population might indeed represent a separate geographical form and thus may be ranked at the subspecies level. In the absence of any further data that can refute its distinctness as a subspecies I follow Bellamy (2008) and provisionally regard it as a separate subspecies.

Only the nominate subspecies occurs in Germany.

Note: Acmaeodera ceylonensis Obenberger, 1932 has long been regarded as a synonym of the present species, but Volkovitsh (2016) has reinstated this taxon as a good species, based on the study of the type material and selection of a lectotype. It is therefore removed from the synonymy of the present species and is regarded as a separate species (that does not occur in Germany).
