Remarks. The type is a male, not a female. Based on the information found in his collection, Linsenmaier considered Hedychridium hybridum a synonym of H. elegantulum du Buysson , but he never published this information. The type locality is not Fréjus, as given in the original description, but Saint-Aygulf, a small village close to Fréjus.
