Material examined

Distribution
China (Inner Mongolia, Shanxi).
Host
Possible host is Podalonia caucasica Morawitz (Hymenoptera, Sphecidae).
Remarks
Euchroeus mongolicus was synonymised with Brugmoia quadrata (=Euchroeus purpuratus) by Kimsey and Bohart (1991)[3]. But, the generic name Euchroeus Latreille, 1809 and specific name Chrysis purpurata Fabricius, 1787 were conserved by ICZN (1998)[4]. As a result the generic name Brugmoia Radoszkowski, 1877 (used by Kimsey and Bohart (1991)[3]) is a junior synonym of Euchroeus Latreille, 1809, and the name quadrata is a junior synonym of purpurata.
Euchroeus mongolicus is well characterized by the male’s colouration (similar to that of the female, in contrast with the green-blue colouration of the males belonging to this genus) and by its sparse punctuation, the smallest mandibles and shorter tongue compared with the typical Euchroeus purpuratus.
