Elampus spina ( Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1806 ) Hedychrum spinus Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau 1806: 121 . Holotype ♂ ; France : Meudon (MSNT) (examined). Elampus productus Dahlbom 1854: 44 . Syntypes ; Portugal , France (ZMUL). Remarks. This species has been confused with Elampus constrictus in older literature. Sahlberg (1910: 99) and Hellén (1920: 206) reported the species from Finland and Russian Fennoscandia, and Borries (1891: 92) reported it from Denmark (as Notozus productus ). It was at first reported from Sweden by Thomson (1870: 103 , as E. productus ), after which it was mentioned by Mocsáry (1889: 68 , as Ellampus spina ), Aurivillius (1911: 6) and Jansson (1922: 33 , as Notozus spina ; 1934: 287, as Notozus panzeri var. spina ). All Finnish and Russian Fennoscandian specimens have been checked and found to belong to E. constrictus . It is most likely that also all the Danish and Swedish published records refer to E. constrictus . Rosa & Soon (2012) reported E. spina from Sweden based on an old Swedish specimen deposited in NRM. The specimen was later found to represent a large individual of E. foveatus . Apparently E. spina is a predominantly South European and West Asian species, with some scattered records from central Europe ( Banaszak 1980 ).
