Remarks
We provisionally keep it as a subspecies of
“
gracile
” because of insufficient data to revise its status in more detail. The name “
gracillimum
” is a declination in Latin of the superlative of
“
gracilis
” and can be translated as ‘really slender’ but the analysed specimens do have a H/W ratio similar to that of the nominotype. In Wagner’s collection, there are specimens from the
type
locality and from Livno, another locality in
Bosnia
, situated more than
100 km
south (MIZPAS-W6867), which might belong to the same taxon. The p-distance of this taxon with the nominotyical sample of the species is 1.4%.
