Available Names According to ICZN Article 45.6.4.1. The following names are available according to ICZN Article 45.6.4.1: “A name that is infrasubspecific under Article 45.6.4 is nevertheless deemed to be subspecific from its original publication if, before 1985, it was either adopted as the valid name of a species or subspecies or was treated as a senior homonym.”

These names were proposed as varieties and were infrasubspecific and unavailable in their original publications (i.e. they were clearly proposed for a rank below that of subspecies). Prior to 1985 these names were elevated to subspecific status, making them available species-group names from their original publication. Below, the first catalog entry is the available name; the last catalog entry reflects the current status (but not necessarily validity) of the name.
