Remarks.

Verity (1920) proposed this name as a race of A. hylas (Esper, 1779). According to Kudrna (1983: 26), this name is unavailable as it denotes a seasonal form which is infrasubspecific and hence unavailable. The year on the specimen labels (1937) indicate specimens were collected 17 years after description (1920) from the same location the original holotype material was collected. As a result, the black label of the specimens treated as “types” is erroneous. The specimen collected from the same geographical location from which the type specimen was collected is called topotype. According to ICZN (1999), a topotype has no formal standing and is not regulated by the Code. Therefore, these four specimens are erroneously labelled as types, should be annotated as "Not a Type" and are treated here as “Non-type” specimens.
