Remarks. In the studied samples, both the caliginosa and trapezoides forms of Ap. caliginosa are represented. The two forms coexist even in the same population and are often accompanied by specimens showing transitional characteristics (e.g. No. 15408). The asterisk in the records listed above denotes the specimens which are more similar to the classical trapezoides form.
