Zygaena rhadamanthus aragonia Tremewan, 1961, The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation 73: 4. Type-locality. Spain: Teruel, Albarracin . [Holotype ♂, paratypes 16 ♂, 11 ♀ examined.] Distribution and taxonomic notes. Zygaena rhadamanthus aragonia is distributed in the Spanish provinces of Cuenca and Teruel. While it is reminiscent of Zygaena rhadamanthus grisea from south-eastern and southern-central France, the placement of this taxon as a synonym of Zygaena rhadamanthus cleui by Leraut (2012 : 98), which he reinstated as a valid subspecies, is inconsistent with the geographical distribution, its 'griseoid' phenotype and the presence of a strong abdominal cingulum. As a consequence, Zygaena rhadamanthus aragonia is here reinstated (stat. rev.) as a valid subspecies ( Hofmann and Tremewan 1996 : 130). It should be noted that Zygaena rhadamanthus aurargentea also has a griseoid phenotype and a strong abdominal cingulum, but the two taxa are geographically separated by a large lowland area that includes the River Ebro.
