Refs.: Wheeler, 1930: 157–158 (dist.), 158–163 (com. on larval biol.), 163–164 (des.), 165–166 (biog. cons.) as a variety of V. vermileo Linnaeus ; Edwards, 1935: 55 (com.); Carles-Tolrá & Baéz, 2002: 118 (cat., dist.); Carles- Tolrá & Cuesta-Segura, 2020: 268 (com., status rev.), Ebejer & Gatt, 2021: 20 (syn. proposal to V. vermileo ); Kehlmaier, 2021: 342 (phyl., dist.).

Remark: the synonimization proposed by Ebejer & Gatt (2021) should be rejected, based on recent barcoding evidence ( Kehlmaier, 2021).
