Remarks.
Under the name
Chrysis subcoerulea
R. there are eleven specimens collected at Saraks. One male was sent in loan [Mus-PAN Krakow] but it is the only specimen different from the others and not belonging to the current interpretation of the species. One female is labelled as
Chrysis subcoerulea
by Radoszkowski and it bears a golden rounded label indicating a type specimen in the Radoszkowski collection. It is not easy to state whether they are truly syntypes, since the collecting locality is different: Saraks instead of Ashabad. As in other cases related to the same publication, it is possible that Ashabad is a locality in error: the two localities are close to each other and the great part of the specimens collected in Turkmenistan come from these two localities. In many other cases the localities given by Radoszkowski in 1891 did not match the locality labels found under the specimens. Another similar specimen is found in MNHN.
Chrysis subcoerulea
is related with
Chrysis viridissima
Klug, 1845 and belongs to the same species group.
Kimsey and Bohart (1991
: 467) placed
Chrysis subcoerulea
in the
Chrysis comparata
s. str. group, without type examination.
After the examination of the male type of
Chrysis chlorochrysa
Mocsary
we propose the new synonym:
Chrysis subcoerulea
Radoszkowski, 1891 =
Chrysis chlorochrysa
Mocsary
, 1889.
Du Buysson (1895
: 500) already considered
Chrysis subcoerula
as the female of
chlorochrysa
, but curiously without synonymizing it (Obs. - Le female
