Material examined.

None examined.

Remarks.

The identification of Chrysis ignita by Buyanjargal and Abasheev (2015) is doubtful and very likely represent another species of the C. ignita group or even a member of another species group (e.g., succincta group). In fact, the host association with Euodynerus dantici , as observed by the two authors, is unusual. Euodynerus dantici is known as a possible host for members of the C. succincta group ( C. germari and C. tristicula (sub C. succincta succinctula ) Pauli et al. 2019, supplementary file 4). For example, C. dauriana Linsenmaier was erroneously identified as C. ignita by several authors, including Trautmann (identification label pinned with the type of C. dauriana ).

Distribution.

Mongolia (Bulgan) [doubtful]; West-Palaearctic: from West Europe to central Asia ( Linsenmaier 1997b).
