Remarks. There are seven synonyms and four subspecies of Delta unguiculatum besides the nominotypical one ( van der Vecht & Fischer 1972). They require a revision (most probably all subspecies are also synonymous with the nominotypical one because the differences between them are based on the coloration); therefore, the complete synonymy is not listed here.
