Synonym of Z. exulans vanadis Dalman, 1816.

Remarks.

Holik (1935) proposed this name as a variation of Z. exulans (Hohenwarth, 1792) from Arctic Russia (Murmansk area). According to Article 45.6.4., it is subspecific if first published before 1961 and author expressly used the terms “variety”. This ‘variation’ was a group of populations with a defined range and was therefore treated as a subspecies by Reiss and Tremewan (1967). Later, Hofmann and Tremewan (1996) synonymised it with Z. exulans vanadis Dalman, 1816. ‘variatio’, in 1935 this term was often used in the current sense of subspecies.
