| Comment | Synonymy: LANTZ & CYRÉN 1936 did not provide a description of the (sub-) species (they only said that the population from Crimea should be called lindholmi), hence subsequent authors (e.g. Wermuth & Mertens 1960) considered their name as a nomen nudum.
Habitat: D. lindholmi is petrophilous but eurytopic. D. lindholmi prefers rocky uncoverings and precipices, but inhabits pebbly beaches, mountain forests and meadows as well. It is hygrophilous species, its number in arid biotopes decreased considerably.
Thermobiology: thermotolerant; D. lindholmi inhabits ecosystems of the highest and lowest temperatures in the Crimea [V. Gasso, pers. comm., 14 June 2011].
Original distribution of D. lindholmi: Turkey [Darevsky 1965, 1967, 1972] S Russia (northern slopes of the west and central Caucasus, western part of the N Precaucasus, Krasnodar region, in northwestern Precaucasus, NE Black Sea coast, between Anapa and Noworossisk), W Georgia (in the south up to the Rioni Plain), S Ukraine (mountain regions in the Krim Peninsula).
