Several other subspecies have been described, but their status is discussed controversially. Most of them are currently placed in synonymy (see below). Orthotylus stysi Koziskova, 1967 (from Italy and the Iberian Peninsula) is currently regarded as a separate species. Orthotylus eurynome Kirkaldy, 1902 (from Australia) has been erroneously synonymized with Orthotylus ericetorum; it is a separate species.
