Chrysis iris CHRIST, 1791
Chrysis iris CHRIST, 1791: 405. Type?; Unknown locality (depository unknown) (ignita group).
Chrysis nitidula FABRICIUS, 1775 : misidentification by RADOSZKOWSKI, 1877, see below: 10 (key), 15 (descr., Uzbekistan: Maracanda [= Samarkanda], Katty-Kurgan).
Chrysis soluta DAHLBOM, 1854 : RADOSZKOWSKI 1877: 10 (key), 16 (descr., Uzbekistan: Maracanda [= Samarkanda]).
Chrysis purpurata FABRICIUS, 1787 : TARBINSKY 2000: 193 (key), 197 (cat., distr., Kyrgyzstan, Tian Shan: Kyrgyskiy crest, Ferganskiy crest, Alajskiy crest, Gissarskiy crest, Talasskiy crest, Ugamskiy crest, Karzhantau crest, Chuy River valley, Tchatkalskiy crest).
R e m a r k s: The species was long-time known as C. nitidula FABRICIUS, 1775 (see e.g. BERLAND & BERNARD 1938); the latter was subsequently recognized as an American species, not occurring in the Palaearctic ( LINSENMAIER 1959). In KIMSEY & BOHART (1991) and TARBINSKY (2000) it is reported under the name Chrysis purpurata FABRICIUS, 1787, since KIMSEY (1988: 272) wrongly designated one specimen of Chrysis iris found in Fabricius̕ collection as lectotype of C. purpurata. This action made Chrysis iris CHRIST, 1791 a junior synonym of C. purpurata FABRICIUS, 1787 and Euchroeus a junior synonym of Chrysis LINNAEUS, 1761 ( PAVESI & STRUMIA 1997). As a consequence, the name of the genus Euchroeus LATREILLE, 1809 (type species Chrysis purpurata FABRICIUS, 1787) became Brugmoia RADOSZKOWSKI, 1877 (type species B. pellucida RADOSZKOWSKI, 1877) and the valid species Euchroeus purpuratus auct. became Brugmoia quadrata (SHUCKARD, 1837). PAVESI & STRUMIA (1997) asked the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to set aside, under its Plenary Powers, the lectotype designation by KIMSEY (1988) for the nominal species Chrysis purpurata FABRICIUS, 1787; to place on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology the name Euchroeus LATREILLE, 1809; to place on the Official Index of Specific Names in Zoology the name purpurata FABRICIUS, 1787 as published in the binomen Chrysis purpurata. The Commission ( ICZN 1998: Opinion 1906) accepted the said proposals, and conserved the name Euchroeus LATREILLE, 1809 on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology; conserved the name Chrysis purpurata FABRICIUS, 1787 on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology. According to this Opinion, the generic name Brugmoia RADOSZKOWSKI has to be considered a synonym of the generic name Euchroeus LATREILLE, and Brugmoia quadrata (SHUCKARD) is a synonym of Chrysis purpurata FABRICIUS. Therefore, Chrysis iris is to be considered the valid name.
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Uzbekistan. Trans-Palaearctic: from Western Europe to Eastern Siberia ( ROSA et al. 2017d).
