Aphthona delicatula
 
 
Subspecies
(1) Aphthona delicatula delicatula Foudras, 1860
(2) Aphthona delicatula graeca Doguet, 1988

Only the nominate form has been recorded in Germany. Konstantinov (1998) lists the taxon graeca in the synonymy of delicatula. However, he then writes that "although A. delicatula [is] slightly smaller and has a coarser wrinkles on the vertex I consider these names conspecific". The term "conspecific" does not imply taxon identity (=synonymy), but only that the taxa belong to the same species. Because all subspecies of a species are also conspecific, and because there are minor, but apparently constant geographic differences, I regard the two taxa as separate subspecies.
