Euplocamus anthracinalis amanalis OSTHELDER,, 1936, syn. n.

OSTHELDEROSTHELDER described this taxon as subspecies amanalisamanalis of Euplocamus anthracinalis on the base of three specimens without any designation of holotype. OSTHELDEROSTHELDER wrote: “... Es liegen 3 von YD [Yüksek-Dagh], 1.-15.V.[19]33 u. [19]34 vor, ...”. Two of them are located in his collection, which is housed now in the Zoologische Staatssammlung Munich. Through the kindness of my colleague ANDREAS SEGERER it was possible to examine these types. The examination shows, that the specimens belong to Euplocamus delagrangeri RAGONOT, 1895, and Euplocamus anthracinalis amanalis OSTHELDER,, 1936 is now a new synonym. For fixation of this synonymization one specimen is designated as lectotype. It bears the following labels:

1. “Amanus, s. Dül-Dül Dagh (Jeschildere) A[nfang].V. [19]34;” 2. [red paper] “Eupl. Anthracinals ssp. Amanalis Osth.  Type;” 3. “coll. OSTHELDER;” 4. Euplocamus delagrangeri RAGONOT , Lectotypus, des. R. GAEDIKE 2010.”

The labels of paralectotype are:

1. “ Syria s. Amanus s. Düldül Dagh (Yüksek Dagh) Jeschil dere 15.V.[19]33;” 2. “ ssp. amanalis Osth. Cotype ;” 3. “coll. Osthelder;” 4. “ Euplocamus delagrangei RAGONOT , Paralectotypus des. R. GAEDIKE 2010.”
