    Species created. The binomial name is quite funny: Ephippiger ephippiger ephippiger. No typo there, that's really the name of the species. Posted 11 years ago

      2 are for the species name, the 3-rd is one of the subspecies as they are listed in the French wiki that Jivko has provided a link to. It would have been easier to provide some information with the request as I used to do. Anyway, please remove the last ephippiger - I can add the list of subspecies and synonyms and a short description.

    Here you can see some further details. I see a subspecie described by a Bulgarian entomologist Andreeva (according to her name!)
