Subspecies
(1) Bombina variegata variegata (Linnaeus, 1758)
(2) Bombina variegata kolombatovici (Bedriaga, 1890)
(3) Bombina variegata pachypus (Bonaparte, 1838)
(4) Bombina variegata scabra (Kuester, 1843)

Only the nominate subspecies occurs in Germany. The status of the southern Italian taxon pachypus is debated, but Speybroeck et al. (2010) argue for subspecies rank and I follow this notion here.
