The type is damaged. It lacks the left forewing; the metasoma and two legs are glued to the locality label.

Ashabad <handwritten by both Radoszkowski and Mocsáry > / Chrysis mutabilis v. ambigua Rad. det. Mocsáry / id nr. 115650 HNHM Hym. coll. Another syntype is housed in MNHU.

Linsenmaier (1959: 175; 1968: 112) and Rosa et al. (2013: 15) placed it in the Chrysis cerastes group, but Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 381) placed it in the Chrysis taczanovskii group.
