71. Chrysophanus ab. alba Schoenfeld, 1924

Original combination.

" Chrysophanus virgaureae L.-?, alba m., nov. ab." Schoenfeld, 1924 Int. Ent. Z. 18: 40.

Current combination.

Lycaena virgaureae ab. alba (Schoenfeld, 1924).

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 1? (ZMH 827586) (Fig. 71 ). "Bayern / Mitterteich / 24.VIII.1923 / Schönfeld” // [blank label] // " Type / Chr. virgaureae L. / ab. alba Schönfeld / I. E. Z. Guben 18. Jahrg / 1924. Nr 6. P. 40 / [illegible]" // "ZMH 827586" .

Original locality.

Germany: Bavaria.

Remarks.

Schoenfeld (1924) proposed this name as an aberration of C. virgaureae (Linnaeus, 1758), therefore, as stated by article 45.6.2 ( ICZN 1999) it is deemed to be an infrasubspecific name (the author used “aberration”, “ab.”) and is hence unavailable.
