Chrysis analis var. rubescens Radoszkovsky, 1880 Plate 5

Chrysis analis var. γ rubescens Radoszkovsky 1880 (1879): 144.

Type locality.

“Caucase” [written in the introduction].

Holotype

♀ [box 61]: golden rounded label // Nikolajewka [handwritten] // Erivan [handwritten] // 68 [printed] // rubescens [handwritten by Radoszkowski]

Remarks.

The type is damaged, without both right wings and right mid-leg.

Chrysis analis var. rubescens was synonymised by Trautmann (1927: 188) with Chrysis analis Spinola, 1808 and his interpretation was followed by Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 382). But the type of Chrysis analis var. rubescens shows some differences with the typical European specimens of Chrysis analis, in the shape of head, different sculpture and black spots on S-II. The Chrysis analis subgroup needs revision.

Current status.

Chrysis analis Spinola, 1808 (synonymised by Trautmann 1927: 188).
