" Tarucus balkanica , Freyer, with I gen. clorinda, nom. nov." Verity, 1938 Ent. Rec. 50: (8).

Current combination.

Tarucus balkanica ab. clorinda Verity, 1938.

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 2?? (ZMH 835592-835593) (Fig. 98 ). "clorinda Vrty " // " Macedonia / Salonika , 1000' / May 31, 1935 / Romei " // [blank label] // "ZMH 835592"; "clorinda Vrty " // " Macedonia / Salonika, 1000' / May 31, 1935 / Romei " // [blank label] // "ZMH 835593 ".

Original locality.

Greece: “Salonika”.

Remarks.

Verity (1938) proposed this name as an aberration of T. balkanica (Freyer, 1844). 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.
