Remarks.

Staudinger (1894) proposed this name as a variety of P. nomion Fischer & Waldheim, 1823. According to article 45.6.4 ( ICZN 1999), it is subspecific if first published before 1961 and author expressly used the terms “variety” or “form”. We believe that these two specimens belong to ssp. Parnassius nomion nominulus Staudinger, 1894. The year on one of the labels (1893) supports this. The question mark on the label ( “Typus?”) shows uncertainty about whether it is a type. In the original description, Staudinger says: "... bemerke ich, dass die kleineren Stücke aus dem Kentei-Gebirge den grösseren var. Nominulus fast gleichkommen." [ … I realize that the smaller specimens from the Kentei-Mountains are very similar to the larger var. nominulus].
