Notes.

The main characteristics that differentiate the subspecies from the nominative one is the larger size, angular yellow colouration of elytral apices, shape of the outer appendage and black colouration of hind tibiae. Sizes are closer to those in sub-fossil fragments, but smaller. For a detailed description of the subspecies see Tshernyshev 2003: 294, 297, Figs 47-53.
