Chrysis mediadentata
Linsenmaier, 1951
Chrysis ignita
var.
mediadentata
Linsenmaier 1951: 75
.
Lectotype
♂
(designated by
Linsenmaier 1959: 157
);
Switzerland
:
Wallis
(NMLS) (examined) (
Chrysis ignita
group).
Remarks.
The species has been reported from
Finland
by
Valkeila (1962: 64
, as
C. ignita mediadentata
),
Valkeila
et al.
(1963: 40
, as
C. ignita mediadentata
),
Silfverberg (1981: 61)
,
Vikberg (1986b: 68)
and
Ranta (2012: 33)
, from
Norway
by
Erlandsson (1971: 88)
,
Artsdatabanken (2010)
and
Rosa & Soon (2012)
, and from
Sweden
by
Erlandsson (1971: 88)
,
Janzon (1983: 171)
,
Nilsson (1991: 86)
and
Rosa & Soon 2012
(as doubtful). All checked specimens have turned out to be incorrectly determined. A large proportion of them belong to an unknown taxon, which is closely related to
C. ignita
and
C. impressa
(see
Chrysis
sp.
), but many belong to other species of the
ignita
group. Apparently, the distribution of
C. mediadentata
does not reach the Nordic and Baltic countries in Europe. The closest confirmed record is from northern
Germany
(
Jakobs & Kornmilch 2007
).
