Rosa, Paolo, Heim, René & Bernasconi, Marco Valerio, 2023, The Palaearctic types of Chrysididae (Insecta, Hymenoptera) deposited in the Linsenmaier collection. Part 4. Elampini: genus Omalus Panzer, 1801, Zootaxa 5297 (1), pp. 61-86 : 79-80

Subgenus Elampus Spinola, 1806

(= Notozus Förster, 1853 )

ambiguus group

Omalus (Elampus) ambiguus Dahlbom, 1854

= O. putoni (du Buysson, 1892)

Omalus mongolicus ( du Buysson, 1901)

= O. cupratus ( Mocsáry, 1911)

Remarks. Omalus ambiguus Dahlbom, 1854 is synonym of Elampus constrictus ( Förster, 1853) sensu Móczár (1964) , whereas O. ambiguus Dahlbom, 1854 sensu Linsenmaier is actually Philoctetes putoni ( Rosa et al. 2017d) , both types of E. ambiguous and P. putoni examined.

bidens group

Omalus (Elampus) bidens ( Förster, 1853)

= O. femoralis ( Eversmann, 1858)

= O. bidens rufescens (du Buysson, 1896)

= O. spina ( Dahlbom, 1854)

= O. superbus ( Abeille de Perrin, 1878)

panzeri group

Omalus (Elampus) panzeri ( Fabricius, 1804)

= O. rufitarsis ( Tournier, 1879)

= O. scutellaris ( Panzer, 1798)

Omalus panzeri coeruleus Dahlbom, 1854

= O. viridiventris ( Abeille de Perrin, 1878)

= O. soror ( Mocsáry, 1889)

= O. montanus ( Mocsáry, 1890)

= O. obesus ( Mocsáry, 1890)

= O. komarowi ( Radoszkowski, 1893)

Omalus eversmanni ( Mocsáry, 1889)

Omalus yasumatsui ( Tsuneki, 1948)

Omalus pyrosomus ( Förster, 1853)

Omalus spina ( Lepeletier, 1806)

= O. longicornis ( Tournier, 1889)

= O. mutans (du Buysson, 1896)

= O. productus Dahlbom, 1854 )

Omalus constrictus ( Förster, 1853)

Omalus sanzii Gogorza, 1887

Omalus albipennis ( Mocsáry, 1889)

Omalus mocsaryi Radoszkowski, 1887

Omalus spinosus Bischoff, 1910 (currently bischoffi Kimsey, 1991 in Kimsey & Bohart 1991, repl. name for spinosus Bischoff, 1910 )

Omalus spinipes ( Mocsáry, 1890)

Omalus violascens ( Mocsáry, 1889)

Omalus kashmirensis ( Nurse, 1902)

Omalus discedens ( Zimmermann, 1940)

Omalus turcmenicus Linsenmaier, 1968

Omalus rufirostris Linsenmaier, 1999

Remarks. According to Móczár (1964), the interpretation of the names panzeri and constrictus in Linsenmaier’s publication is inverted. Nevertheless, Linsenmaier (1969, 1987, 1997, 1999) went on using his species concepts, without following Móczár’s (1964) classification.

The following species were considered to be synonyms of Omalus (Elampus) panzeri or O. constrictus by Linsenmaier (1951): O. affinis Schenck , O. angustatus Mocsáry , O. bipartitus Tournier , O. elongatus Schenck , O. foveatus Mocsáry , O. kohli Mocsáry , O. konowi du Buysson , O. minutulus Schenck , O. olgae Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, O. pulchellus Schenck , O. unicolor Trautmann , O. viridiventris Abeille de Perrin , O. vulgata du Buysson.

Omalus (Elampus) foveatus is currently considered to be a valid species, described from Bosnia and Herzigovina. Omalus konowi is currently considered to be a valid species ( Wiesbauer et al. 2020) from the Baltic and Nordic countries, recently confused with O. foveatus by Niehuis (2001) and Paukkunen et al. (2015). Omalus olgae Semenov-Tian-Shanskij resulted a synonym of E. panzeri sensu Móczár (1964) ( Rosa et al. 2017a). Omalus viridiventris Abeille de Perrin is an unnecessary replacement name for Elampus caeruleus Dahlbom, 1854 . Types of other taxa listed by Linsenmaier as synonyms of panzeri or constrictus should be evaluated in a future revision of the genus.
