Subspecies
Some authors recognize a
subspecies C. m. pontica. However, this subspecies is based on aberrant
(very light colored) specimens of C. marginata and I follow Vala (1989)
in synonymizing this name with the nominate form.
The taxon Coremacera bivittata (Macquart, 1835), known only from the
female type specimen (from Sicily) and two further specimens (collected
in central Italy (Latium)), is sometimes considered to be a variant or
subspecies of C. marginata. I do not follow this notion here, because
there is not enough material available to draw any confident
conclusions.
In summary, I do not recognize subspecies of Coremacera marginata.
