Taxonomische Hinweise:

The taxonomic status of E. multiocellata kozlowi also remains unclear due to lack of sampling from the area of its distribution and requires further research. Morphologically this form appears to be closely related to the nominative form E. (m.) multiocellata; however preliminary chromosome studies suggest some unrecognized diversity in the area of Bei Shan (Inner Mongolia, China) (Gong et al. 1992). Our study reports presence of a divergent mtDNA lineage of E. cf. multiocellata in Gansu Province of China; taxonomic status of this population has to be evaluated upon availability of voucher materials for examination.
