Systematics

This species has two currently accepted subspecies, and two color morphs have been described in the nominate subspecies: [1]

The latter is found only in Greece, while the former seems to occur everywhere in the species' range but probably not in Greece. The subspecies limits are not fully understood yet, and given the species' distribution, the taxonomic identity of the Bulgarian populations needs to be clarified.

A number of now-obsolete junior synonyms were formerly applied to A. schaefferi:
