?118. Aglais guhni Tschauner, 1926

" Vanessa urticae var. guhni" Tschauner, 1926 Int. Ent. Z. 20: 229, 273.

Current combination.

Aglais urticae guhni (Tschauner, 1926).

Current status.

Junior subjective synonym of Aglais urticae urticae (Linnaeus, 1758).

Type material.

Paratype 1? (ZMH 827667) (Fig. 118 View Plate 17 ). “Paratypoid” // " Vanessa urticae / nov. var. guhni / Paratype e. coll. / Tschauner, Berlin 1926" // "Coll. Bytinski-Salz / Eing. Nr. 20, 1960" // "ZMH 827667".

Type locality.

Germany: Berlin.

Remarks.

This case seems ambiguous, because Tschauner (1926) writes that the new name constitutes a local variation, if not a new race, although he also notes that he is not sure whether the variation is really heritable. On page 273 he names it again as " Vanessa urticae var. Guhni nov. spec." [sic!]. See also the critical remark by Kitt (1927).
