Remarks. Elampus panzeri is the most common species of its genus in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The northernmost record is from the 66°50′ latitude. It has been confused with E. constrictus by many authors, as explained above (see E. constrictus ). Hellén (1920) reported “ab. angustatus ” from Finland, but replaced it with “ab. unicolor ” in the Finnish checklist ( Hellén 1935), as angustatus was synonymized with E. constrictus (= E. panzeri sensu Trautmann 1927 ) by Trautmann (1927). The form unicolor differs from the nominate form by its green abdomen. However, intraspecific colour variation is common and gradual among E. panzeri specimens, and the use of such infrasubspecific names is not recommended.
