Lemonia strigata deucalion Antoshin & Zolotuhin, 2011 , Eversmannia, 25–26, 17. Type locality: Greece, the Cyclades GoogleMaps , Andros Island GoogleMaps , Remata, 37.8703° N, 24.8363° E. Male holotype (MWM/ZSM).

Diagnosis. L. syrigata deucalion is an island subspecies from the Cyclades. Externally and morphologically variable, no reliable characters were found to distinguish it from the Balkan subspecies.

Variability. Like in L. strigata above.

Distribution ( Fig. 106 View FIGURES 99–113 ). The Cyclades.

Taxonomic note. Described as much paler than L. strigata strigata ( Antoshin & Zolotuhin, 2011) , although seems to be within a color variation of the species ( Figs 49–51 View FIGURES 41–51 ), some adults have paler thorax and abdomen ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 41–51 ). The Cycladic adults have to be barcoded to confirm the validity of the subspecies.
