Remarks.

According to Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 435) the syntypes of Chrysis murgrabi are preserved in the Radoszkowski collection. The description of Chrysis murgrabi was based on one male and one female, but now there is only one male specimen left in the collection. It is badly damaged, the right forewing is missing, and the metasoma was found in the box and glued on a separate label. The locality given on the label (Transcaspia) is not accurate, compared with the locality given in the text (Murgrab = Murgab, currently in Tajikistan), however it cannot be excluded from the syntypes based only the locality, because the specimens described by Radoszkowski in 1891 bear not precise locality labels. Radoszkowski (1893b: 81) emended the name to Chrysis murgabi , but this name must be considered as an unjustified emendation according to the Art. 32.5.1 of the Code. It belongs to the Chrysis maculicornis group.

Current status.

Chrysis maculicornis Klug, 1845 (synonymised by Kimsey and Bohart 1991).
