Comments.
Lachnaea lucidicollis
var.
peyerimhofþ
was described in a publication containing also descriptions of subspecies (
KOCHER 1953
), thus it became infrasubspeciħc according to Article 45.6.4 of the Code (
ICZN 1999
). However, it was validated with the original authorship in accordance with Article 45.6.4.1 of
ICZN (1999)
because
CODINA PADILLA (1958)
adopted
L. peyerimhofþ
as a species name.
The type locality was mentioned only superħcially as ‘tout le Grand et le Moyen-Atlas’ [= whole High and Middle Atlas Mts.], however the specimens in PJCP and MNHN bear the labels with exact localities. Due to this ambiguity we tentatively treat only two specimens which bear original Kocher
