Remarks.

Warnecke (1942) proposed this name as a form of " L. alcon F." (sic, recte: [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775). According to article 45.6.1 ( ICZN 1999), it is infrasubspecific if the content of the work unambiguously reveals that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity, and is hence unavailable. The title of the paper (Warnecke, 1942) indicates that this form constitutes an aberration and is therefore infrasubspecific and unavailable. According to the description this form was only found in a single female.
