Stigmatogaster subterranea


< Previous    |    Next >

Subspecies
Two forms have been described, the status of which is unclear. I tentatively regard them here as subspecies, but they might as well be intraspecific variants or separate species. Only the nominate form occurs in Germany.
(1) Stigmatogaster subterranea subterranea (Shaw, 1789)
(2) Stigmatogaster subterranea complanata Chalande et Ribaut, 1903

Note: the latinized word "gaster" is feminine, thus the often used masculine "subterraneus" is incorrect.
