Holotype – ♀ ; Tajikistan [ZIN] (examined) ( succincta group) SPECIMENS EXAMINED. Russia : Altai Rep.: 5 km SE Chagan-Uzun, Tudtuyaryk River, 11.VII 2016 , 1♂ (MP, VL ); 15 km SW Tashanta , 9.VII 2016 , 1♂ (MP, VL ) . REMARKS. We assign these male specimens to Chrysis popovi Semenov , known only on the female holotype from Tajikistan so far, because of the following diagnostic features: 1) coloration pattern, with head and mesosoma metallic green, without red or golden parts, and metasoma metallic red; 2) punctuation on mesosoma shallow and lacunose, with large, polished, shining interspaces ( Fig. 9C ); 3) peculiar black spots on S2, medially fused, with posterior margin almost straight and covering only the upper third of the sternum length ( Fig. 9B ) (see Rosa et al. 2017a: Plate 109) . Fig. 9. Chrysis popovi Semenov , ♂: A – head, frontal view; B – metasoma, ventral view; C – mesosoma, dorsal view; D – metasoma, lateral view; E – metasoma, dorsal view; F – metasoma, posterior view. Scale bar = 0.5 mm. The main difference is in the shape of T3 apical teeth; in the female holotype there are four distinct teeth, whereas in these males only the two median teeth are visible ( Fig. 9F ). Similar differences are to be found, as a sexual dimorphic character, also in several other species of the succincta -group. Examination of series of males and females from the same localities will be required for the definite confirmation of the specific attribution. DISTRIBUTION. * Russia ( Altai Rep.); Tajikistan .
