Remarks.

Based on the revision of Naumann (1982), he designated lectotype from an original specimen described by Koch from the collection of "Staatl. Museum für Tierkunde Dresden". Therefore, the rest of the type specimens are paralectotypes. The taxon group containing Zygaena purpuralis chamurli Koch, 1935 is currently revised by Ana Nahirnić (National Museum of Natural History, Bulgaria, Sofia).
