Notes. The exact described localities cover 0,72 (or 0,88)% of the Bulgarian UTM-territory. The localities are announced by BESHKOV (1998), BURESCH & ZONKOW (1941), KOVACHEV (1912), KOVATSCHEFF (1903, 1905) and UNDJIAN (2000). It is possible that the localities reported by KOVACHEV (1912) asEni-kyoyu, Silistra district" /= Bulgarka village, NJ27/ and "Baltadzhi-kyoyu, Silistra district" /= Bradvari village, NJ16/ relate to T. dobrogicus as well. However, in the work of BURESCH & ZONKOW (1941) these localities are not mentioned neither for T. cristatus karelinii nor for T. c. dobrogicus.

Altitudinal division of the localities: all known localities are situated below 300 m a.s.l.
