Treatment

Clytra nigrocincta ssp. bagdatensis Pic, 1920a: 7 (original description).

Type locality. ‘Bagdad’ [ Iraq].

Type material examined. SYNTYPES: 1 ♀, ‘ Bagdad [w, h] // type [w, h] // s. esp. / bagdatensis / Pic [w, h]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic); 1 ♀, ‘ Bagdad / (M J Drure) [w, h] // type [w, h]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic). POSSIBLE SYNTYPES: 2 ♂♂1 ♀, ‘ Bagdad [w, h]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic) ; 1 ♂ 4 ♀♀, without any label ( MNHN – coll. Pic).

Distribution. Iraq ( REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b).

Comments. All species of the subgenus Ovoclytra Medvedev, 1961 (except C. (O.) deþciens from Cyprus) badly need a comprehensive revision based on examination of the primary type material. Until that we leave C. nigrocincta ssp. bagdatensis as a valid subspecies.

In several specimens from Pic ̓ s collection we are not sure whether they belong to the type series or not as they have incomplete label data or are without any labels altogether. However, we treat them as possible syntypes.
