96. Lycaena ab. privata Schoenfeld, 1924

Original combination.

" Lycaena icarus " Rott.-? "ab. privata m., nov. ab." Schoenfeld, 1924 Int. Ent. Z. 18: 40.

Current combination.

Polyommatus icarus ab. privata ( Schönfeld, 1924).

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 1? (ZMH 827573) (Fig. 96 ). " 14.5. 1921 / Kl. Chuchel / Böhmen / von Schönfeld” // " Type / Lyc. icarus Rott.? / ab. privata Schönfeld / I.E.Z. Guben. 18. Jahr. Nr 6 / 1924. a.d. nachl. v. Schönfeld. / D. Gelpke " // "Kl - Chuchel / 14.5.21" / "ZMH 827573" .

Original locality.

Czech Republic: "in der Umgebung von Prag (bei Kuchelbad)" [in the vicinity of Prague (near Kuchelbad)].

Remarks.

Schoenfeld (1924) proposed this name as an aberration of L. icarus Rottemburg, 1775. Therefore, as stated by article 45.6.2 ( ICZN 1999) it is deemed to be an infrasubspecific name (the author used “aberration”, “ab.”) and is hence unavailable.
