Status Kolbasova et al (2020: 8, 19) present a description under the heading Phalacrophorus pictus borealis and two figure plates both labelled as Phalacrophorus pictus borealis. However, in their discussion they change this subspecies status. They state: "Taking into account differences in morphology between our specimens and P. pictus, as well as differences in their geographical distributions, we agree with Ushakov (1972) and Druzhkov et al. (2000) and conclude that P. borealis should be re-instated as a valid species." [details]
