Bemerkung Diese über die gesamte Holarktis verbreitete Art ist sehr variabel, was die Proportionen ihrer Körperteile und was ihre Skulptur angeht. Unterschiede im Bau des Aedoeagus, die eine Differenzierung der verschiedenen Populationen unterstützen würden, habe ich nicht finden können (vgl. meine Ausführungen dazu 2012c). Was die Dichte (manchmal sogar Rugosität) der Skulptur angeht, so beobachtet man jedoch einen signifikanten Gradienten der südwestlichen und der südlichen Populationen: s. unten.
