The subspecific structure of Dorcadion pusillum Küster is revised and its distribution summarized based on published records and specimens from different collections. The taxonomic status of D. pusillum berladense Pic is reconsidered, the availability of the name "berladense" discussed in accordance with Article 45.6 of the ICZN, and a lectotype here designated. Two new subspecies are described from the Curvature Subcarpathians and the Romanian Plane: D. pusillum vasiliscus ssp. nov. and D. pusillum ochrolineatum ssp. nov., respectively.
