on the Karak mountain].

Remarks
. Radoszkowski described
Chrysis sabulosa
based on three males, but the picture of the species (table II, picture 11) undoubtedly shows a female with an exserted ovipositor. Another female
syntype
is housed in the Radoszkowski collection (ISEA-PAN) (Rosa
et al.
2015).
Kimsey & Bohart (1991: 458)
placed the
holotype
doubtfully in ZMMU and considered it as the
holotype
. According to the Code (ICZN 1999: Article 74.5), it cannot be considered as the
lectotype
by inference of “
holotype
”. We here designate the
lectotype
of
Chrysis sabulosa
Radoszkowski
to fix the current interpretation of the species.
Kimsey & Bohart (1991: 359)
established the
C. sabulosa
species-group based on three species (“
The three species of the
sabulosa
group are Palaearctic (s[outh] USSR)
”) previously included by
Semenov-Tian-Shansky (1909)
in the subgenus
Cephalochrysis
Semenov, 1909
. However, in the following checklist the three species considered as
Cephalochrysis
by
Semenov-Tian-Shansky (1909)
are placed in three different species-groups:
C. ellampoides
Semenov,
1909
in the
C. rufitarsis
speciesgroup;
C. idolon
Semenov,
1909
in the
C. ehrenbergi
species-group;
C. sabulosa
Radoszkowski,
1877
in the
C. sabulosa
species-group. No other species are included in the
C. sabulosa
species-group. The diagnostic characteristics given by
Kimsey & Bohart (1991)
for separation of the
C. sabulosa
species-group from the
C. ehrenbergi
species-group can be considered as diagnostic characteristics valid for the species identification within the
C. ehrenbergi
species-group, as already reported by
Linsenmaier (1959: 168)
. Therefore, we believe that
C. sabulosa
Radoszkowski
can be considered as a member of the
C. ehrenbergi
species-group.
