Remarks.

Radoszkowski described this species based on a syntype series ("7-8 1/3 mill."). Nowadays in the collection there is only one specimen bearing the locality label and the handwritten label " singula " by Radoszkowski. In HNHM there is another female syntype labelled: Astrabad singula Rad. n.sp. <handwritten by both Radoszkowski and Mocsáry > / Chrysis grohmanni v. singula Rad. det. Mocsáry / id nr. 115604 HNHM Hym. coll. Another syntype is housed in MNHU and other two possible syntypes are deposited in MNHN (general collection box 54).

Linsenmaier (1959: 109; 1968: 62) used the name Chrysis grohmanni ssp. bolivari Mercet, 1902 (erroneously written bolivieri ) for the specimens belonging to Chrysis singula Radoszkowski; Linsenmaier clearly wrote that he did not know Chrysis singula Radoszkowski. Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 416) included Chrysis singula in the synonymic list of Chrysis grohmanni Dahlbom. Chrysis grohmanni grohmanni Dahlbom is limited to the western Europe and North Africa (from Morocco to Tunisia). Various sister species (treated as subspecies by Linsenmaier) occur in eastern Europe, North Africa, Near East to central Asia. It belongs to the Chrysis succincta group.
