Cyaniris bicoloripes Pic, 1922: 27 (original description), syn. nov. Type localities. Clytra xanthaspis : ‘Germania’. Cyaniris bicoloripes : ‘Angora’ [= Turkey , Ankara ]. Type material examined. Clytra xanthaspis : Not examined. Cyaniris bicoloripes : SYNTYPES : ♀ , ‘ Angora [w, h] // type [w, h] // bicoloripes / n sp [w, h] // TYPE [r, p]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic ) ; ♂, ‘ Angora [w, h] // type [w, h]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic ) . Distribution. Europe, Turkey , Caucasus, Near East (for details see REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b ). Comments. Cyaniris bicoloripes was listed as a suspected synonym of S. xanthaspis in the Palaearctic catalogue ( REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b ). After examination of two syntypes of C. bicoloripes we can conħrm that both species are conspeciħc and thus C. bicoloripes is synonymized here with S. xanthaspis .
