Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 1? (ZMH 827531) (Fig. 88). "Hirschke.Wien / Herkulsbad / V. 1900 Type " // "Verh. zool. / bot. ges. / 1903 Hirs." // “TYPE” // "ZMH 827531" .

Remarks.

Hirschke (1903) proposed this name as an aberration of L. argiades (Pallas, 1771). 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.
