Saldula arenicola |
| Subspecies Two subspecies are recognized: (1) Saldula
arenicola arenicola (Scholtz, 1847)
(2) Saldula arenicola ussurica Vinokurov, 1981 Only the nominate form occurs in Germany. Original description Synonyms Synonymy of Saldula arenicola arenicola: Salda arenicola Scholtz, 1847 Saldula
arenicola (Scholtz, 1847)
Saldula arenicola arenicola (Scholtz, 1847) Acanthia arenicola (Scholtz, 1847)

Costa, 1847Acanthia arenicola connectens Reuter, 1895 (nec Horvath, 1xxx) Acanthia arenicola simulator Reuter, 1895 Saldula arenicola nigripes Wagner, 1940 Saldula arenicola cataniana Wagner, 1955 Saldula arenicola sahariana Filippi, 1957 Saldula deserticola Wagner, 1958 Saldula arenicola demaculata Stichel, 1960 Note: The nominal Salda ocellata has long been regarded as a synonym of Saldula pallipes. However, Lindskog (1995) points out that this is an erroneous synonymy and that Salda ocellata is actually a synonym of the present taxon. Unfortunately, both names were published in the same year and the exact publication date is only known for the nominal Salda ocellata (March 24). Thus, it is possible that ocellata has priority over arenicola, but because arenicola is a well-established name for the present species I recognize arenicola as the valid species epithet to ensure nomenclatural stability.
