Type locality.

'Fiume (Susak Trsat)' [Croatia: vicinity of Rijeka, Susak Trsat].

Current status.

Synonym of Z. punctum itala Burgeff, 1926.

Remarks.

Reiss (1933) proposed this name as a variation of Z. punctum Ochsenheimer, 1808 from Fiume (Croatia). According to Article 45.6.4., it is subspecific if first published before 1961 and author expressly used the terms “variety”. The taxon Zygaena kolbi Reiss, 1933 was synonymised with Z. punctum itala Burgeff, 1926 by Hofmann and Tremewan (1996). This is the current valid combination. However, the taxonomic position of the subspecies of Z. punctum from the Balkans is currently again revised ( Nahirnić, Jakšić and Tarmann, in preparation).
