Current Status.
Unavailable infrasubspecific name.
Remarks.
Spaeth (1909a)
proposed this name as a variety of a subspecies, therefore as a fourth name, which is hence infrasubspecific and unavailable. According to Article 45.6.4 (
ICZN 1999
), a name that is infrasubspecific is 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. The name was subsequently mentioned twice, once as a subvariety (
Spaeth 1913b: 448
) and then as an aberration (
Spaeth 1914b: 72
).Neither of these acts can be considered as validation of the name, as they are also infrasubspecific entities.
