Name
Chrysis splendens Dahlbom, 1854 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Chrysis splendens: Dahlbom 1854[1]: 312.
Type locality

Material
Lectotype (here designated) ♂. Chrysis splendens, Kl. (Pyrosomus) Klug D. Klug, Cap. B. Esp.
Catalogue Casolari & Casolari Moreno. Chrysis splendens, 132, 53, 49, 1 (box 51).
Remarks
Dahlbom (1854)[1] described Chrysis splendens based on at least two specimens found in the Spinola collection and listed as var. a and var. b. Only one specimen seems to be preserved. This specimen is seriously damaged, missing its metasoma (except for the first tergite), its compound eyes, the flagellomeres of the right antenna, and the right foreleg. Therefore, it is impossibile to assign this specimen to one of the two variations described by Dahlbom. However, the remaining part of the head and the mesosoma are species-diagnostic of this beautiful African species. Bohart (in Kimsey and Bohart 1991[2]: 465) designated the male as lectotype in the Spinola collection, but the only specimen left in the collection is without any label. We do not consider this a valid lectotype designation and set it aside. We here designate the above specimen as lectotype of Chrysis splendens, because it is housed in the author’s collection (Recommendation 74D of the Code) and Bohart (1991) already listed it in this collection. It belongs to the Chrysis splendens group.
Current status
