38. Chrysis scutellaris Fabricius, 1794

Chrysis scutellaris Fabricius 1794: 458 . Holotype ♀; Italy (ZMUC) (examined). Dahlbom 1854: 265, Thomson 1870: 106, Borries 1891: 95, Aurivillius 1911: 11, Tjeder 1954: 64, Noskiewicz & Pulawski 1958: 47, Móczár 1967: 93, Erlandsson 1971: 88, Banaszak 1980: 30, Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 461, Linsenmaier 1997: 98, Cederberg 2000: 177, Soon 2004: 46, Cederberg 2005: 290, Allearter.dk 2010, Cederberg et al. 2010: 353, Orlovskytė et al. 2010: 151, Johansson 2012a: 62, Rosa & Soon 2012, Sörensson et al. 2012, Dyntaxa 2013.

Chrysis segmentata Dahlbom 1829: 9 . Holotype ♂; Sweden: Scania: Löderup, Kåseberg (ZMUL). Dahlbom 1831: 29, Zetterstedt 1840: 434.

Distribution. Denmark, Lithuania, Sweden.—Westpalearctic: Europe and North Africa ( Linsenmaier 1997, 1999).

Remarks. The species has been found from Denmark (only a few records, Sörensson et al. 2012), Lithuania (only one record from Nida 1971, Orlovskytė et al. 2010) and southern Sweden (Scania, only a few localities, Sörensson et al. 2012). In Sweden, C. scutellaris has been classified as endangered ( Cederberg et al. 2010). Tumšs & Maršakovs (1970: 93) and later Soon (2004) and Rosa & Soon (2012) reported the species from Latvia based on two female specimens from Koknese 1.VII.1968. The other specimen was found in Maršakovs’ collection in Riga, and it turned out to belong to C. graelsii . Although the other specimen could not be found, it is probably also misidentified, because Maršakovs made many mistakes in his identifications, and it is likely that both specimens collected from the same locality on the same day and identified in the same way are conspecific.
