Taxacom: Subspecies PROBABLY described

Dear Mikhail,
without having consulted the original source, this sounds for me like a 
name in conflict with Art. 15.1. A statement "belongs probably" reflects 
a condition, and an indication "n. ssp." under such circumstances should 
not be acceptable. Not being equipped with a name-bearing type is in 
conflict with Art. 16.4.1, which makes it easier to neglect the new name 
in nomenclature.

If this helps

Best wishes
Francisco
