Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 1? ( ZMH 61586 ) (Fig. 5 ). " Type / P. apollo L: valesiacus / Fruhst. / ab. praetexta Gelpke / I. E. Z. Guben 23 Jahrg 1929 / S. 122 [illegible]" // " 13.7. 1927 / Lötschental / ob Wiler / Wallis 1550 m " // “Type” // "ab. praetexta Gelpke" // "Mus. Altona comm / Eing. Nr. 3-65 // ZMH 61586 " .

Original locality.

Switzerland: Swiss Alps. "oberhalb Wiler".

Remarks.

Gelpke (1929) proposed this name as an aberration of P. a. valesiacus Fruhstorfer, 1906. Therefore, as stated by articles 45.6.1 and 45.6.2 ( ICZN 1999) it is deemed to be an infrasubspecific name (if the author used “aberration”, “ab.”, or the author expressly gave it infrasubspecific rank) and is hence unavailable.
