Holopyga intermedia García Mercet, 1904

Holopyga gloriosa var. intermedia García Mercet, 1904: 85 nec Dahlbom, 1845. Syntypes ♂, ♀; Spain: Madrid, Montarco, El Escorial, Los Molinos (type depository: Madrid) (examined).

Holopyga intermedia : Linsenmaier 1959a: 30 (key), 33 (diagn.), 186 (cat.), 196 (fig. 30).

Holopyga intermedia : Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 232.

Hedychrum intermedium Dahlbom, 1845 : Linsenmaier 1997: 251.

Hedychrum intermedium Dahlbom, 1845 = Holopyga fervida ( Fabricius, 1781) : Rosa & Xu 2015: 60.

Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959a, 1968) considered Hedychrum intermedium Dahlbom, 1845 and Holopyga intermedia García Mercet, 1904 to be two valid species in two different genera. Morgan (1984) discovered that the type of Hedychrum intermedium Dahlbom, 1845 is actually a member of the genus Holopyga . Consequently, Kimsey renamed Holopyga intermedia García Mercet, 1904 as H. merceti Kimsey in Kimsey & Bohart, 1991, since it had become a junior secondary homonym of Holopyga intermedia ( Dahlbom, 1845) . Linsenmaier (1997, 1999) did not agree with the interpretation of the types provided by Morgan (1984) and Kimsey & Bohart (1991) and continued to use Hedychrum intermedium and Holopyga intermedia as valid species names in two different genera. Rosa & Xu (2015) confirmed that the type of Hedychrum intermedium , which is preserved in Lund (and not in Paris), is actually a member of the Holopyga fervida complex, and the correct species name for H. intermedia García Mercet is therefore H. merceti Kimsey in Kimsey & Bohart, 1991.
