Remarks.

Bohart (in Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 396) designated a female collected at Tashkent in HNHM as the lectotype. After type examination, we found that Chrysis chrysochlora is the female of Chrysis keriensis Radoszkowski, 1887.

The name Chrysis chrysochlora is commonly found in collections because Linsenmaier (1959: 161) included Chrysis chrysochlora and the subspecies korbiana Mocsáry, 1912 in his revision of the European species. In recent years only Tarbinsky (2000: 193) used Chrysis chrysochlora as a valid name in the key of the Chrysis ignita group of Tian-Shan. Nevertheless, there is no reason to ask for the reversal of precedence (Art. 23.9 of the Code) and we propose the new synonym Chrysis chrysochlora Mocsáry, 1889 = Chrysis keriensis Radoszkowski, 1887. It belongs to the Chrysis ignita group.

Current status.

Chrysis keriensis Radoszkowski, 1887.
