Type locality. Finland: " Vanaja ". Paratype 1 ♀. [ Jmt. Undersaker [unreadeable] 16.7.48 [ Valliste 1000m C.B. Gaunitz ] [ Chrysis L. mediata ssp. fenniensis Lins. Linsenmaier det. 59 ] [ Chrysis scintillans n.sp. det. E. Valkeila - 69] [Typus] <red label> [NHRS-HEVA000001117]. Plate 19. Chrysis scintillans Valkeila, 1971, paratype. A Habitus, lateral view B head, frontal view C head and mesosoma, dorsal view D metasoma, dorsal view. Remarks. The paratype lacks both right wings. The correct name for the locality of this paratype is found in the original description. The holotype is deposited at the MZH . Chrysis scintillans was described based on seventy-six specimens from Finland, Russia and Sweden. Paukkunen et al. (2014 : 41) synonymised it with Chrysis solida Haupt, 1956, and found that the paratypes belong to different species: Chrysis schencki Linsenmaier, 1968 (36 exx.), Chrysis solida Haupt, 1956 (33 exx.), Chrysis ignita group (2 exx.), Chrysis impressa Schenck, 1856 (2 exx.), Chrysis angustula Schenck, 1856 (1 ex.) and Chrysis subcoriacea Linsenmaier, 1959 (1 ex.). The paratype preserved in NHRS belongs to Chrysis schencki (V. Soon and J. Paukkunen, in litt.). Valkeila considered the punctation of the terga as a more important character in species identification rather than other characteristics, such as the width of the ovipositor. Current status. Chrysis solida Haupt, 1956 (synonymised by Paukkunen et al. 2014 : 41).
