I believe all forms under L. taurica s.l. have been either subsumed or split out. Consulting Braun & Cook (2012), we should have:
f. acanthophylli --> L. bornmuelleriana
f. achilleae --> unknown affinity, probably inactivate
f. alhaginis --> L. alhagi
f. altheae --> L. contractirostris
f. ammodendri --> L. papilionacearum
f. ammothamni --> L. papilionacearum
f. artemisiae --> L. picridis
f. asclepiadeae --> this is apparently a mangling of some name or nonexistent; probably inactivate

Given that all of these are in the letter-A range, it looks like this was an aborted quixotic project to add all of the old Golovin "forms" perhaps. Meanwhile, none have any actual observations.

@andydonegan @bjoerns @cooperj @nschwab opinion on whether to simply inactivate all of them (not just the unknown ones), or go through and swap the relevant ones to current names?

I'd swap the ones that have current interpretations. Then at least the name goes into synonymy. The remainder I'd inactivate.
