Note
:—
A
holotype
was not designated by Tamamschjan. Following the original description of this subspecies, Tamamschjan stated, “Ibidem!!,” referring to the locality and dates provided for specimens of
A
.
urartu
, which was published on the same page.
Avetisian (1999)
noted that no original material, but only a toposyntype (specimen authenticum) (
ERE
20786! Tamamschjan, s.n.,
11.
V
.1933
), is housed at
ERE
. The collection date of this specimen does not match those cited in the protologue. Because the specimen is from the type locality, and was labeled as
Amygdalus urartu
mihi
subsp.
pseudopersica
m[ihi] by Tamamschjan, this specimen is selected as
neotype
.
