Original locality.

'Ain Karem, Palestine’ [Israel: Jerusalem West, En Kerem].

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Remarks.

Bytinski-Salz (1936) proposed this name as ‘race’ (= subspecies) of Z. corycia Staudinger, 1871. Therefore, as stated by Article 45.6.1 ("the content of the work unambiguously reveals that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity") it is deemed to be infrasubspecific name, which is hence unavailable.
