Chrysis vagans Radoszkowski, 1877 Plate 50

Chrysis vagans Radoszkowski 1877: 11.

Type locality.

"Habitat in valle Sarafschan et in monte Karak", “Пойманъ 13 мая 1869 г . въ Джамскомъ ущельи и 6 мая 1871 г . на горѣ Каракъ” [collected on the 13th of May 1869 in the Canyon Djamsk, and on the 6th of May 1871 on the Karak mountain].

Lectotype

(here designated) 1♂ [not ♀] [box 60]: golden rounded label // Каракъ [printed] // vagans [handwritten by Radoszkowski] // Spinthr. [handwritten by Radoszkowski] // 6 [pink label with red line] // 46 [printed].

Remarks.

One male paralectotype is housed in MMU (Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 558). Chrysis vagans is the type species of the genus Spintharina Semenow. We here designate the lectotype on the specimen housed in ISEA-PAN because the specimen in the Fedtschenko collection in MMU does not belong to the same species. The latter belongs to a similar species with different face in frontal view, without distinct TFC and characteristic antero-basal lobe on the third tergite. It belongs to the Spintharina vagans group.

Current status.

Spintharina vagans (Radoszkowski, 1877) (transferred by Bohart 1987: 93).
