REMARKS. Specimens published as C. fasciata Olivier, 1791 from Russian Far

East very likely belong to Chrysis daphne Smith, 1874 . C. daphne has been considered as subspecies (Linsenmaier, 1959) or synonym (Kimsey & Bohart, 1991) of

C. fasciata but unpublished molecular studies suggest that C. daphne , as well as C.

zetterstedti Dahlbom, 1845, represent different species in relation to C. fasciata

(Paukkunen et al., 2014). Also from a morphological point of view, they show differences which support their separation. In particular C. daphne is easily recog-

nizable by the elongate pit row on T3 and the shortened black spots on S2.
