Jaargang 3 1, nummer 4 1 december 2003 « A final note on the taxon Aricia ( Ultraaricia ) orpheus and its relationship to Plebejus ( Aricia ) anteros (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) Zdravko Kolev Summary. It is confirmed, based on research in the type locality of the taxon Aricia ( Ultraaricia ) orpheus Nekrutenko, 1980 and in further seven Bulgarian populations of Plebejus ( Aricia ) anteros (Freyer, [1838]), that Aricia ( Ultraaricia ) orpheus Nekrutenko, 1980 is an infrasubspecific taxon and a junior subjective synonym of Lycaena anteros anteros Freyer, [1838]. Several previously unnoticed factual errors in Nekrutenko’s paper are also discussed, and the distribntion of P. (A.) anteros in Bulgaria is summed up. PetHtivie.
