Bohart (in Bohart and French 1986: 342) designated the lectotype in HNHM. The lectotype housed in HNHM bears the labels: Kaukasus Erivan / lepida Mocs. typ. det. Mocsáry / red label / Holotypus Chrysis lepida ♀ Mocs. RM Bohart / id nr. 135152 HNHM Hym. coll. It belongs to the Chrysis elegans group.
