Notes

Reported from Greece by Simboura (1996) as Polyphysia crassa ( Ørsted, 1843) but belonging in fact to the Mediterranean subspecies Polyphysia crassa fauveli ; Polyphysia crassa is restricted to northern Europe ( Kudenov and Blake 1978). In some unpublished datasets from Greece, the name Lipobranchus jeffreysii (McIntosh, 1869) is used. Støp-Bowitz (1945) considers Lipobranchus jeffreysii , the type of Lipobranchius , to be the juvenile of Polyphysia crassa (see also Kudenov and Blake 1978). Nevertheless, Lipobranchus jeffreysii continues to be listed in some works as a valid species (e.g. Hartmann-Schröder 1996).
