Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Chrysididae
Genus: Chrysis
Name
Chrysis distinguenda Spinola, 1838 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Chrysis distinguenda: Spinola 1838[1]: 450.
Remarks
The type is not present in the Spinola collection. Dahlbom (1854[2]: 282) examined the type in the Spinola collection, when it was still there, and wrote that it is entirely blue-green: "quae species est toto corpore cyaneo-viridis". In Egypt, only few species are known with four anal teeth and blue-green colouration. One of them is Chrysis blanchardi Lucas, 1849, described from Algeria, distributed from the Iberian Peninsula via North Africa to Palestine. It could match Spinola’s description. Linsenmaier overlooked this name until his last work (1999[3]: 211), in which he placed Chrysis distinguenda in the Chrysis ignita group. However, Chrysis distinguenda could be a small blue species as found in various species groups (e.g., Chrysis cerastes, Chrysis ignita, Chrysis scutellaris-viridissima, Chrysis pallidicornis). Therefore, we consider Chrysis distinguenda as nomen dubium.
Current status
Chrysis distinguenda Spinola, 1838, nomen dubium.
