Remarks.

The collecting dates do not match the localities given in the original description. However, the same situation was found in the other four specimens housed in the Fedtschenko collection in MMU. Therefore a case of lapsus calami must be happened and we consider these specimens and those in MMU as syntypes. Another possible male syntype collected at Kizil-kum by Fedtschenko was also found in Gribodo collection (MSNG, not listed in Rosa 2009).

Mocsáry (1889: 116) introduced the correct emendation Hedychrum solskyi . In Radoszkowski (1889) and Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 235) it was listed as Hedychrum solskii .

Current status.

Holopyga solskyi (Radoszkowski, 1877) (transferred by Radoszkowski 1889: 7).
