f. vulpinella Osthelder, 1952 (excluded name under Article 1.3.4.) (it
is unclear whether this form belongs to this subspecies)
Some authors regard montanicellus as an individual abberration. I do
not adopt this view here.
Distribution
Widely distributed in Europe (except for
the southern parts) and western Asia. The nominate subspecies is
recorded from all Bundesländer in Germany. The subspecies C. m.
montanicellus occurs in the Tatra mountains. However, there are
specimens described as "f. vulpinella" from Bayern, that seem to belong
to this subspecies as well. Thus, C. m. montanicellus might be part of
the fauna of Bayern.
