Not included: Reports of the two deviating, low chromosome numbers of 2n = 18 and 26 (Hadac and Hasková 1956) are discounted as probably belonging to other races or to related species. Several reports of 2n = 48-52, 54, and 56, assigned to C. atrata, are from outside its accepted range (Japan, Siberia) and are omitted. They probably belong to related species, of which there are many.
