Deutsch:
Die Beschreibung der Ophrys exaltata subsp. archipelagi nahmen GÖLZ und REINHARD 1986 mit Material von der kroatischen Insel Korcula vor. Dann wurde festgestellt, dass die Art im Südosten Italiens ebenfalls wächst, hauptsächlich am Südabhang des Promontorio del Gargano. Bestäubt wird sie von der Seidenbiene Colletes cunicularius, die in Italien auch Bestäuber der Ophrys exaltata subsp. exaltata, Ophrys exaltata subsp. tyrrhena und Ophrys exaltata subsp. arachnitiformis ist.
Von Matera (Provinz Basilikata) und Quasani (Provinz Bari) wurden ähnliche Pflanzen als Ophrys mateolana beschrieben, die aber heute meist zu archipelagi gezogen werden.

Im südlichen Dalmatien (Kroatien) gibt es fließende Übergänge zu Ophrys exaltata subsp. cephalonica, deren Hauptverbreitung in Nordwest-Griechenland und Albanien liegt.

English:
GÖLZ and REINHARD described archipelagi in 1986 on orchids from the Croatian island of Korcula. The orchid can also be found in south eastern Italy, mainly at the southern slopes of the Promontorio del Gargano. It is pollinated by Colletes cunicularius, which is in Italy pollinator of Ophrys exaltata subsp. exaltata, Ophrys exaltata subsp. tyrrhena, and Ophrys exaltata subsp. arachnitiformis, too.
From Matera (Province Basilicata) and Quasani (Province of Bari) similar plants have been described as Ophrys mateolana, but are today ususally united with archipelagi.

In Southern Dalmatia (Croatia) there are flowing transitions to Ophrys exaltata subsp. cephalonica, which is mainly distributed in Northwest Greece and Albania.
