Sphex ignita Linnaeus, 1758

Sphex ignita: Linnaeus 1758: 571.

Label.

Chrysis ignita Lin., et Dab. ♀. ♂.; typus; passim.

Catalogue Casolari & Casolari Moreno. Chrysis ignita, 157, 0, 0, 4 (box 51).

Remarks.

Someone placed a red rounded label, which means "type", near four specimens. None of the four specimens is a type; the true syntypes (lecto- and paralectotype) are housed in LSL. Very likely Spinola wrote "typus" on the label to identify the typical form of ignita and not a variation.

Current status.

Chrysis ignita (Linnaeus, 1758) (transferred by Linnaeus 1761: 414).
