Remarks.

Bohart (in Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 464) designated the lectotype in MMU and placed Chrysis speciosa in the maculicornis group. Radoszkowski indicated only the female in the description of Chrysis speciosa on pag. 17, but he gave no further informations or type locality for the var. β described at pag. 18. The specimen was collected at Ворухъ [= Vorukh], locality not mentioned in the description. The specimen housed in Kraków could be referred to the β variety but belongs to the comparata group.
