Clytra valerianae var. subjuncta : 1 ♂, ‘Anatolien / Konia / 1899 Korb [w, p] // 237 [w, p] // type [w, h] // v. subjuncta Pic [w, h] // TYPE [r, p]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic); 1 ♂, ‘Anatolien / Konia / 1899 Korb [w, p] // type [w, h] // TYPE [r, p]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic).

Distribution. Southeast Europe, Caucasus, Turkey, Near East (for details see REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b).

Comments. Both varieties were described in a paper containing also a description of a subspecies ( PIC 1920a), thus became infrasubspeciħc according to Article 45.6.4 of the Code ( ICZN 1999). The original specimens of both varieties are conspeciħc with C. valeriana .
