contents <p><i>Melitaea phoebe ogygia postogygia</i> Verity, 1938</p><p>[TL: uncertain - three syntypes from two different localities in Greece: Salonica (= Thessalonica), Macedonia @ 1000 ft.

Although the name <i>postogygia</i> has no formal nomenclatural standing as part of a quadrinomial, it is considered here because of its association with the names <i>ogygia</i> and <i>nigrogygia</i>, which are associated with <i>M. ornata</i> (cf above, and RUSSELL & BARTOLOZZI, 2019). Verity’s description (1938: (16)) indicated that the name was proposed for a second generation of “ <i>M. phoebe ogygia</i> ”. This is unusual: <i>M. ornata</i> is generally univoltine (RUSSELL & PATEMAN, 2011), although second generations occur when rearing the species in the U.K., if the larvae are exposed to very wet conditions (RUSSELL & PATEMAN, 2013).</p><p>Examination of the photographs of the three syntypes and their associated labels revealed that the two syntypic males from Salonica, taken 12 and 13 August 1936 are almost certainly <i>M. ornata</i> (Figs 16a, b, c); whereas a female from Olympus taken on “Aug[ust]. 17, 1935”, is <i>M. phoebe</i> (Figs 17a, b & c). All three specimens were captured by Romei. These identifications, admittedly based only on antenna and wing morphology, were agreed by John Coutsis and Jim Pateman. (See Acknowledgements). The designation of a lectotype in this case is not relevant because the name <i>postogygia</i> is part of a quadrinomial (infrasubspecific) and thus not nomenclaturally significant.</p>
