Remarks.

As in other cases of species described in 1891 (e.g. nova , simulatrix ), the specimens considered as syntypes bear the label “Trans-Caspia” and not “Ashabad”. Another female syntype is housed in HNHM bearing the labels: Trans-Kaspia / splendidula var. unica <handwritten by Radoszkovski> / Chrysis splendidula v. unica Rad. det. Mocsáry / id nr. 115606 HNHM Hym. coll. These syntypes are closely related to Chrysis chlorisans du Buysson (in André) by the colouration and sculpture of the body. It belongs to the Chrysis splendidula group.

Current status.

Chrysis splendidula Rossi, 1790 (synonymised by Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 465).
