Remarks
The specimens housed in the collection and cited by Dahlbom (1854[1]: 55) and Abeille (1879)[2] as types are not syntypes. Dahlbom (1854)[1] received these specimens from Spinola under the name fulgidicollis, but the species was already described by Klug under the name Holopyga micans. Abeille (1878[3]: 2) erroneusly replaced the name Holopyga micans with cicatrix "Nom à changer, M. Lucas ayant dècrit auparavant sous le nom de Micans l’ H. Ovata". Later, Abeille (1879[2]: 28) "Jai dù changer le nome de cette espèce, M. Lucas ayant décrit, avant Dahlbom, sous le nom d’Hedychrum micans, l’Holopyga gloriosa (ovata), confondue avec l’Hedychrum lucidulum. "J’ai vu, dans le cartons du Museée de Turin, les types de cette charmante espèce que j’ai reçue d’Espagne (Gogorza)". We did not find the types of micans Klug at MNHU, where we found only the types of micans var. viridis Trautmann, 1926 and micans var. aeneus Trautmann, 1926. The case reported by Abeille (1879)[2] is not a case of secondary homonym, since Hedychrum micans belongs to the genus Hedychrum and not Holopyga. Anyway, no author considered the two species congeneric after 1879. Kimsey and Bohart (1991[4]: 254) used cicatrix as the first available name Holopyga micans (nec Chrysis micans Olivier, 1790). However, Olivier did not describe any Elampus micans, and the two names were never considered conspecific, therefore micans Klug is the valid name, as already written by Mingo (1994[5]: 208).
Current status
Philoctetes micans (Klug, 1835) (transferred by Kimsey and Bohart 1991[4]: 254).
