Remarks.

Warnecke (1942) proposed this name as a form of L. arionides Staudinger, 1887. 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. According to the description this form is an individual aberration or a rare second generation and is therefore infrasubspecific. Accordingly, on plate II this form is figured as " Lycaena arionides nov. ab. selzeri Warn.".
