88. Lycaena ab. depuncta Hirschke, 1903

Original combination.

" Lycaena Argiades ab. (et var.) depuncta" Hirschke, 1903 Verh. Ges. Wien. 53: 270.

Current combination.

Cupido argiades ab. depuncta (Hirschke, 1903).

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 1? (ZMH 827531) (Fig. 88 ). "Hirschke.Wien / Herkulsbad / V. 1900 Type " // "Verh. zool. / bot. ges. / 1903 Hirs." // “TYPE” // "ZMH 827531" .

Original locality.

Romania: “Herkulesbad”.

Remarks.

Hirschke (1903) proposed this name as an aberration of L. argiades (Pallas, 1771). 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.
