Chrysis obscura Radoszkovsky, 1877 Plate 29

Chrysis obscura Radoszkovsky 1877 (1876): 106.

Type locality.

“Envoyée du Caucase par Mr. Mlokosiewitz".

Holotype

♂ [box 61]: golden rounded label // Cauca Mlokos [printed] // 130 [printed] // obscura Rad chalcochrysa Mocs [handwritten by Radoszkowski] // undulata Rad. [handwritten by Mocsáry].

Remarks.

Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 461) placed Chrysis chalcochrysa in synonymy with Chrysis scutellaris Fabricius, without type examination. Chrysis obscura belongs to the Chrysis succincta group and not to the Chrysis scutellaris group. Chrysis chalcochrysa is a valid taxon related to the Chrysis grohmanni subgroup, with a unique colouration of the mesosoma.

Current status.

Chrysis chalcochrysa Mocsáry, 1887, replacement name for obscura Radoszkovsky nec Smith, 1859, status revived.
