49. Chrysis clarinicollis Linsenmaier, 1951

Chrysis ignita var. clarinicollis Linsenmaier 1951: 77 . Lectotype ♀ (designated by Linsenmaier 1959: 154); Switzerland, Wallis (NMLS) (examined). Soon et al. 2014: 308.

Material examined. Estonia: Ahu , 30.V.–27.VI.2009, 1 ♂ (A. Kraut); Manilaid, 28.VII.2001, 1 ♂ (V. Soon); Tuudi, 27.VI.2001, 2 ♂♂ (V. Soon); Väike-Pakri, 11.–12.VII.2004, 1 ♂ (A. Selin) .

Distribution. Estonia.—Westpalearctic: southern and central Europe, North Africa ( Linsenmaier 1997).

Remarks. Only five specimens are known from Estonia, all from the western part of the country. The determination of one specimen has been confirmed by DNA barcoding ( Soon et al. 2014). As the species is relatively difficult to identify morphologically, it could have been overlooked in the other Baltic and Nordic countries. The closest known observations are from central Poland ( Szczepko & Wiśniowski 2009).
