Hemerobius marginatus



Subspecies
Northern scandinavian specimens have been described as a separate subspecies Hemerobius marginatus lapponicus. However, this taxon is not parapatric to the nominate form and thus is probably no subspecies, but likely represents only an environmental (i.e. non-genetic) modification caused by the influence of the cold climate and limited food ressources on the development and growth of the individuals. It is currently not recognized and placed in synonymy, but more work on its validity is nevertheless desireable. Currently, no subspecies are recognized.
