Kawakatsu & Liu 1987 (citation)- p. 43 "Crenobia alpina is a species distributed in Europe and Asia Minor; it has several subspecies in Europe. It can hardly be doubted the Arndt's (1918, 1921) (19044) (citation) records of this species in the northeastern area of the Far East are due to his misidentification of the other triclad species (probably a Phagocata species) Therefore, Crenobia alpine should be removed from the Chinese freshwater planarian fauna (see also Lue & Kawakatsu, 1986, p. 321) (citation)"
