Euchroeus mon golicus Tsuneki, 1947 Plate 59 Euchroeus purpuratus f. mongolicus Tsuneki, 1947: 54. Holotype ♀, China: Inner Mongolia: Apaka (54 (descr., biol.), 55 (ecol.), depository: NIAS). Euchroeus purpuratus mongolicus : Tsuneki 1948a : 124 (China: Manchuria, Nanpintsun, tax., descr.), 128 (Shanxi, cat.). Euchroeus (Euchroeus) mongolicus : Linsenmaier 1959 : 73 (Mongolia [= Inner Mongolia], tax., descr.), 200 (fig. 213). Brugmoia quadrata (Shuckard, 1837): Kimsey and Bohart 1991 : 296 (cat.). Material examined. Paratypes, 2♂♂2♀♀, Apaka, Inner Mongolia, 4.VI.1939, K. Tsuneki, Euchroeus purpuratus mongolicus m. (NMLS). Distribution. China (Inner Mongolia, Shanxi). Host. Possible host is Podalonia caucasica Morawitz ( Hymenoptera , Sphecidae ). Remarks. Euchroeus mongolicus was synonymised with Brugmoia quadrata (= Euchroeus purpuratus ) by Kimsey and Bohart (1991) . But, the generic name Euchroeus Latreille, 1809 and specific name Chrysis purpurata Fabricius, 1787 were conserved by ICZN (1998) . As a result the generic name Brugmoia Radoszkowski, 1877 (used by Kimsey and Bohart (1991) ) is a junior synonym of Euchroeus Latreille, 1809, and the name quadrata is a junior synonym of purpurata . Euchroeus mongolicus is well characterized by the male's colouration (similar to that of the female, in contrast with the green-blue colouration of the males belonging to this genus) and by its sparse punctuation, the smallest mandibles and shorter tongue compared with the typical Euchroeus purpuratus .
