Taxonomy
This species is extremely variable and many forms, especially from Crimea, were treated as separate species before revision using methods of molecular taxonomy was carried.[2]
Synonyms of Helicopsis filimargo that were previously treated as species include (among many other):[2]
- Helicopsis arenosa (Krynicki, 1836), equal to Helicopsis dejecta (Rossmässler, 1838)
- Helicopsis retowskii (Clessin, 1883)
- Helicopsis gasprensis (Hesse, 1934), equal to Helicopsis paulhessei (Lindholm, 1936)
- Helicopsis subfilimargo Gural-Sverlova, 2010
- Helicopsis martynovi Gural-Sverlova, 2010
- Helicopsis luganica Gural-Sverlova, 2010
Distribution
This species occurs in Southern and Eastern Ukraine and in the adjacent regions of Russia. Most numerous and diverse populations are in the Crimean Mountains.[2]
