Comments. Probably all of the listed macropterous females and nymphs collected from Crete belongs to V. rhadamantha rhadamantha, from Corfu to V. pelagonensis, and from Rhodes to V. mariae . Although V. affinis filippii also occurs in all three islands, it is much less common compared to the other three species.
