Current combination.

Araschnia levana f. clarior Warnecke, 1959.

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and thus unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 2?? (ZMH 825009-825010) (Fig. 119 ). "Schleswig / Elsdorfer Sch. / 20.3.97" // "n.f. clarior W. / Coll. Warnecke / Eing. Nr. 5-1949" // "ZMH 825009"; "Schleswig / Elsdorfer Sch. / c. l. 20.3.97" // "n.f. clarior W. / Coll. Warnecke / Eing. Nr. 5-1949" // "ZMH 825010" .

Original locality.

Germany: Schleswig-Holstein.

Remarks.

Warnecke (1959) proposed this name as an aberration of A. levana (Linnaeus, 1758). 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. From the text of the description it is unambiguously clear that the author is describing an aberration and not a subspecies.
