Remarks
To date, N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. has been reported under N. b. bidentatum, and N. b. gruberi ssp. nov. under N. b. sparsum. Since hybrids N. b. bidentatum × N. b. sparsum have not been identified in any locality, all these published data likely refer either to N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. × N. b. sparsum or N. b. gruberi ssp. nov. × N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. Nemastoma b. bidentatum referred from Germany (Schönhofer & Holle 2007) is a hybrid, probably N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. × N. b. sparsum. Since both N. b. sparsum and N. b. gruberi ssp. nov. inhabit the lowland in Croatia, hybrids south of the Sava River or nearby probably belong to N. b. gruberi ssp. nov. × N. b. schmidti ssp. nov.
