Subspecies

No
subspecies are currently recognized. However, this species is very
variable and might in fact comprise several separate subspecies or even
species. Some morphologically distinct populations have already been
described as separate taxa, but have later been synonymized again with
the nominal form. I list these taxa in the synonymy below, but I expect
that detailed systematic analyses will reveal that Crombrugghia distans
comprises a number of separate taxa.

Crombrugghia tristis auct. nec Zeller, 1841 (frequent misidentification, see Haslberger et al. 2016)
Note: Oxyptilus adamczewskii is either listed as a synonym of the
present species or of Crombrugghia tristis. I provisionally follow here
the latter interpretation, but I expect that the status of many taxa in
Crombrugghia will change when a detailed systematic analysis and
revision is performed in the future.
The validity of the genus Crombrugghia has recently been questioned and
several authors now synonymize it with the genus Oxyptilus. I
provisionally retain it in Crombrugghia until more phylogenetic
information becomes available.

Distribution
|
A
rare species that is more frequently recoded in the northern parts of
Germany. Most records from southern Germany have turned out to be
misidentifications of other species (see Haslberger et al. 2016).
