Remarks.

Warnecke (1942) proposed this name as a form of C. virgaureae (Linnaeus, 1758). According to article 45.6.1 (ICZN 1999), it is infrasubspecific if the content of the work unambiguously reveals that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity, and is hence unavailable. The title and the text of Warnecke (1942) paper unambiguously reveals that this form was described as an aberration and not as a subspecies. It was only found in a single male.
