Subspecies
Simbolotti and van Achterberg (1999) distinguish two different forms of
this species, one of which is restricted to the southern Palearctic
region, while the other form occurs in Central and western Europe. The
minor differences between the two forms and their allopatric
distribution strongly suggest a subspecies status of the two forms.
However, Simbolotti
and van Achterberg (1999) synonymize all taxa and do not recognize
subspecies. I provisionally accept this notion until more data on the
two forms becomes available.
