Subspecies
The differences between Agathis semiaciculata and Agathis mongolica are
subtle and thus, both taxa could be considered subspecies of the same
species. However, I accept the view of Simbolotti and van Achterberg
(1999) who regard Agathis mongolica as a separate bona species.

Identification
Distribution
Agathis mongolica has been recorded from
Andorra, Italy, Mongolia, Poland, and from Austria, but not yet from
Germany. Because of the possible confusion with Agathis semiacicula the
exact distribution of both species is unclear, and it is possible that
German specimens of Agathis mongolica have so far been misidentified as
Agathis semiaciculata. Accurate identification is required for all
future records of this species from Germany. Note:
the species is not listed by Belokobylskij and Taeger (in Dathe et al.
2001).
