'' Packard, 1871 More recent study meanwhile assigns many of these taxa to other genera than ''Isotoma'', e. g. ''Desoria'', ''Parisotoma'', or ''Vertagopus''. Potapov (2001) " lists 14 valid ''Isotoma'' species for the Palearctic realm, these are in bold in the list above. The most common species in Central Europe are ''Isotoma viridis'', which dwells natural as well as disturbed habitats, while ''I. caerulea'' prefers dryer habitats, ''I. anglicana'' cooler climates, and ''I. riparia'' streambanks and coastal shorelines.
