Remarks. The identity of Aspidomorpha dorsata has recently been revised due to a previous misinterpretation of the type material (Sekerka & Barclay, 2014). The taxon previously identified as A. dorsata (as per Świętojańska, 2001) is now recognized as A. calligera Boheman, 1854 (Sekerka & Świętojańska, 2024).
