Remarks. The name Holopyga gloriosa ( Fabricius, 1793) , which was originally described as Chrysis gloriosa , was suppressed by the Commission on ICZN (1998, Opinion 1906). This name was a pillar in the classification of Linsenmaier, who used it to define the largest species group in the genus (the gloriosa group). Numerous species were described or treated as variations or subspecies of gloriosa by various authors, including Mocsáry, du Buysson, García Mercet, Trautmann, and Linsenmaier. All the previous identifications of Holopyga gloriosa should now be attributed to similar species in this group such as Holopyga cribrata (Klug) [= H. inflammata ( Förster, 1853) ] or Holopyga lucida (Lepeletier, 1806) . As a result of this nomenclatural act, Rosa & Pavesi (2020) proposed replacing Linsenmaier’s gloriosa group with the name amoenula group.
