It is part of a group of species (biguttulus-group) that are very difficult to identify morphologically and previously was classified (with C. biguttulus and C. mollis); it is the only member of this group present in the British Isles (where it is common and widespread). In continental Europe, where the three species occur together, individuals can be distinguished using song characteristics.
