120. Araschnia ab. marginelineata Horch, 1932

Original combination.

" Araschnia levana L. gen. aest. prorsa ab. marginelineata" Horch, 1932 Int. Ent. Z. 26:338.

Current combination.

Araschnia levana prorsa ab. marginelineata Horch, 1932.

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Kotype” 1? (ZMH 825011) (Fig. 120 ). "f. marginelineata / Horch / Gub. I. E Z; 26., 1932/3, / P. 337." // "Umgeg. v. Hamburg / Radbruch / e. l. 10.7.32 / R. Horch Hamburg" // “Kotype” // "ZMH 825011".

Original locality.

“Lüneburger Heide", Hamburg [Germany].

Remarks.

Horch (1932) proposed this name as an abberation of A. levana (Linnaeus, 1758). This species is known for having two forms, Araschnia levana and prorsa that represent the spring and summer broods respectively. 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.
