Remarks.

Kimsey (1988: 272) designated the lectotype of Chrysis purpurata at ZMUC, based on one specimen labelled Chrysis purpurata but belonging to another species: Chrysis iris Christ, 1791. The consequence was that the generic name Euchroeus Latreille, 1809 became a junior synonym of Chrysis Linnaeus, 1761 ( Pavesi and Strumia 1997) and the generic name Euchroeus was replaced by the first available name: Brugmoia Radoszkowski, 1877. The species formerly known as Euchroeus purpuratus auctorum was replaced by the name Brugmoia quadrata (Shuckard, 1837). The Commission on the ICZN approved the documentations provided by Pavesi and Strumia (1997) as valid and suppressed the lectotype designated by Kimsey and conserved the generic name Euchroeus Latreille and the specific name purpurata Fabricius. Pavesi and Strumia ( ICZN 1998) designated the neotype of Chrysis purpurata in the Spinola collection.

Current status.

Euchroeus purpuratus (Fabricius, 1787) (transferred by Latreille 1809).
