This data review in the present state does not answer the question which populations are subspecies or species or which taxonomic name should presently be regarded as valid, it just provides data maybe useful for taxonomic research and identification of specimens. Data only valid for a local (sub)population are listed under older, presently invalid synonym for this population. This does not necessarily mean that the subpopulation is distinct; results of current taxonomic research may lead to a reduction of the number of populations in the future, or new forms may be discovered and included.
