Notes

Mártonfi (1997) delimited T. pulcherimus subsp. carpaticus (= subsp. sudeticus (Lyka) P.A.Schmidt) distributed in the western Carpathians and Sudetes from the eastern Carpathian subspecies T. pulcherimus subsp. pulcherimus ( Mártonfi and Marhold 1998, Štěpánek and Tomšovic 2000). Amongst synonyms of T. pulcherimus subsp. carpaticus , Mártonfi (1997) surprisingly indicated T. circumcinctus Klokov, which has been described from the eastern Carpathians ( Klokov 1960: pp. 301-302). However, in the following paper ( Mártonfi and Marhold 1998), this confusing synonym and some other synonyms have been excluded.
