Chrysis maracandensis var. simulatrix Radoszkowski 1891a: 185.

Syntype

1♂: Trans-Caspia [printed] [yellow label] // var. simulatilis [handwritten by Radoszkowski].

Remarks.

Radoszkowski described Chrysis maracandensis var. simulatrix based on a syntype series. In his collection there are five specimens under the label simulatilis (sic). Four of them were collected at Sarakhs, while the fifth was collected in “Trans-Caspia” and bears the label handwritten by Radoszkowski "var. simulatilis ". The latter can be considered as a syntype, in the same way of other species described in 1891 and bearing the same locality label. All the specimens belong to Chrysis maracandensis Radoszkowski. Therefore the synonym: Chrysis maracandensis var. simulatrix Radoszkowski, 1891 = Chrysis maracandensis Radoszkowski, 1877, is here proposed. Another possible syntype is housed in MNHN (general collection box 41). It belongs to the Chrysis scutellaris group.

Current status.

Chrysis maracandensis Radoszkowski, 1877.
