Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 4?? (ZMH 833498-833501) (Fig. 167 ). "postesseloides Vrty " // " Macedonia / Olympus , 2500' / Aug 24, 1935 / Romei " // [blank label] // "ZMH 833498"; "postesseloides Vrty " // " Macedonia / Olympus , 2500' / July 25, 1936 / Romei " // [blank label] // "ZMH 833499"; "postesseloides Vrty " // " Macedonia / Olympus , 2500' / July 6, 1936 / Romei " // [blank label] // "ZMH 833500"; "postesseloides Vrty " // " Macedonia / Olympus, 2000' / July 8, 1936 / Romei " // [blank label] // "ZMH 833501 ".

Original locality.

Greece: vicinity of Skala.

Remarks.

Verity (1938) proposed this name as "nom. nov." of S. orbifer tesselloides ( Herrich-Schäffer, 1845), therefore, as stated by article 45.6.1 it is deemed to be an infrasubspecific name (the author expressly gave it infrasubspecific rank) and is hence unavailable. Spialia orbifer tesselloides is currently regarded as a junior subjective synonym of the nominate subspecies.
