Prior to Reuter (1884i) nearly all workers referred to this species under the specific epithet festiva which is actually a synonym of ornata. The name dominulus was usually mistakenly used to refer to a taxon now known as Eurydema fieberi. Derzhansky et al. (2002) noted that Reuter (1910b) cited the locality data for variety confluens under variety tsherskii, and the locality data for variety tsherskii under variety confluens. Records from Algeria and Syria need confirmation.
