113. Melitaea ab. mediofasciata Bubacek, 1926

Original combination.

" Melitaea dejone H.G. ab. mediofasciata Bub. ab. nova." Bubacek, 1926 Verh. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien 74-75: (9).

Current combination.

Melitaea deione ab. mediofasciata Bubacek, 1926.

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 1? (ZMH 833454) (Fig. 113 ). " Type / Mel. rondoui / ab. mediofasciata / Otto Bubacek " // " France, Gèdre / Hautes Pyrenées / Juli 1923 / Col. Otto Bubacek " // [blank label] // "ZMH 833454 ".

Original locality.

France: Pyrenées.

Remarks.

Bubacek (1926) proposed this name as an aberration of M. dejone Geyer, 1832. 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.
