Remarks
Dahlbom (1854[1]: 282) described Chrysis distinguenda Dahlbom (nec Spinola, 1838) based on a unspecified number of specimens housed in the Spinola collection. He knew that Spinola did not include these specimens in his description of Chrysis distinguenda Spinola, 1838. In fact, Dahlbom explicitely wrote: "Chrysis distinguenda Mus. Spinolae (non Annales Entomol. 1838. 450: VII, quae species est toto corpore cyaneo-viridis)". Dahlbom (1854)[1] gave a new accurate description of Chrysis distinguenda Dahlbom, more than two pages with some drawings. Mocsáry (1879[2], 1889[3]) realized that Chrysis distinguenda Dahlbom a synonym of comparata sensu auctorum, and that Chrysis distinguenda Spinola most likely represented a separate and unknown species, the type of which apparently has been lost. Mocsáry (1879)[2] replaced the name Chrysis distinguenda Dahlbom, 1854 (nec Spinola, 1838) with Chrysis chevrieri nec Abeille, 1879. Finally, Linsenmaier (1999[4]: 221) considered Chrysis distinguenda Spinola as a separate species belonging to the Chrysis ignita group, although he seemingly never studied type specimens in Spinola’s collection.
We consider five specimens in the Spinola collection as syntypes of Chrysis distinguenda Dahlbom, 1854. In box 51, there are two main labels bearing the name Chrysis distinguenda. Under the second label, there are three specimens: the last two are males of Chrysis comta Förster, 1853 and are likely the specimens listed by Spinola as Chrysis ignita var. a on the label. We select one female syntype of Chrysis distinguenda Dahlbom as neotype of Chrysis comparata Lepeletier (Plate 8) (labels: Sicile et Toscane / Lectotype ♀ Chrysis distinguenda Dhlb. P. Rosa des. 2012 / Neotypus Chrysis comparata Lepeletier des. P. Rosa 2013). For further notes see remarks under Chrysis comparata Lepeletier. The type of Chrysis distinguenda Spinola, 1838 is currently lost (see the chapter II Types not housed in the Spinola collection).
Current status
Chrysis comparata Lepeletier, 1806 (synonymised by Trautmann 1927[5]: 154).
