Western Switzerland, northwestern Italy and southeastern France.[3] Mallow et al. (2003) describes the range only as "portions of Switzerland."[4]
Conservation status
This subspecies is classified as Vulnerable (VU) according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (v3.1, 2001).[5][6]
Taxonomy
A recent study by Ursenbacher et al. (2006) suggests that V. a. atra may not be a valid subspecies.[5]
