Elampus constrictus ( Foerster , 1853) Notozus constrictus Foerster , 1853: 336. Holotype ♂, Germany: Aachen (336 (descr.), depository: MNHU)*. Ellampus (Notozus) soror Mocsary , 1889: 68. Neotype ♀ design. by Moczar (1964b : 422), Hungary: Budapest (depository: HNHM) (synonymised by Moczar , 1967). Elampus panzeri sensu Trautmann, 1927, sensu Linsenmaier, 1959. Notozus yasumatsui : Tsuneki 1948a : 116 (China: Kaiyuean ). Notozus panzeri : Tsuneki 1948a : 118 (China: Shanxi: Tungyehchen, distr., tax.), 128 (China: Shanxi, cat.). Notozus coeruleus f. soror : Tsuneki 1953a : 54 (China: Kaiyuean , tax.). Distribution. China (Liaoning, Shanxi). Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region ( Linsenmaier 1959 ; Moczar 1967 ). Remarks. Tsuneki (1953a) wrote that the paratype of Elampus yasumatsui from Shanxi is to be referred to Elampus (= Notozus ) coeruleus f. soror . The taxonomic position of Elampus soror is unclear: according to Linsenmaier (1959) it is a synonym of Elampus coeruleus Dahlbom. It has been considered a variety of Elampus coeruleus ( Bischoff 1913 ), Elampus panzeri ( Trautmann 1927 ) and Elampus constrictus ( Moczar 1964b ). Only Kimsey and Bohart (1991) listed Elampus soror as a valid species. We here consider Elampus soror as a synonym of Elampus constrictus following Moczar (1967) and Rosa and Soon (2012) . Kimsey and Bohart (1991) considered Elampus panzeri and Elampus constrictus synonyms of Chrysis Elampus scutellaris Panzer, but without any type examination.
