Remarks

• Systematics: H. nivearum austriacus differs from H. nivearum nivearum in the presence of dorsal 5-locular pores only.
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Balachowsky (1953l). Although Balachowsky (1953l) provided characters to its separation from H. nivearum, both Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F) and Tang (1992) placed this subspecies as a synonym of the former.
