Paralectotype

1♂ [box 61]: golden rounded label // 9. [printed] [blue label] // Ϲамаркандъ // 47 [printed].

Remarks.

Lectotype designated by Bohart (in Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 436) based on a male housed in MMU. All the specimens are males and not females as written in the original description. In the Radoszkowski collection there is another specimen collected at Taschkent, also with the golden rounded label, which is not considered as a paralec totype because the locality label is printed in Latin [Tachkend], while all the specimens described in 1877 bear labels printed in Cyrillic. It belongs to the Chrysis scutellaris group.
