- Abstract
The article demonstrates that the valid name for the Balkan lynx is Lynx lynx balcanicus Bures, 1941, and L. l. martinoi Miric, 1978, is its junior synonym, in order to ensure consistent subspecific nomenclature of Lynx lynx. It mentions that conservationists have largely dismissed the older synonym balcanicus and used instead a junior synonym martinoi in adressing the Balkan lynx over the last decade prior to 2013. The author chooses not to advance beyond the limit of taxonomic judgment on whether or not the Balkan lynx is a subspecies in its own right.
