Distribution and taxonomic notes.

Zygaena carniolica modesta has a wide distribution that ranges from northern and central France, through Belgium, Luxembourg, central and southern Germany to northern Austria, Czech Republic and southern Poland. We see no justification for describing two new subspecies from single localities located within this distribution, as their phenotypes fall within the range of variation; therefore, Zygaena carniolica rogervillensis and Zygaena carniolica besseensis are here formally placed as synonyms (syn. n.) of Zygaena carniolica modesta .
