Treatment

31. Elampus constrictus ( Foerster, 1853)

Notozus constrictus Förster, 1853: 336. Holotype ♂, Germany: Aachen (336 (descr.), depository: MNHU)*.

Ellampus (Notozus) soror Mocsáry, 1889: 68. Neotype ♀ design. by Móczár (1964b: 422), Hungary: Budapest (depository: HNHM) (synonymised by Móczár, 1967).

Elampus panzeri sensu Trautmann, 1927, sensu Linsenmaier, 1959.

Notozus yasumatsui : Tsuneki 1948a: 116 (China: Kaiyüan).

Notozus panzeri : Tsuneki 1948a: 118 (China: Shanxi: Tungyehchen, distr., tax.), 128 (China: Shanxi, cat.).

Notozus coeruleus f. soror : Tsuneki 1953a: 54 (China: Kaiyüan, tax.).

Distribution.

China (Liaoning, Shanxi). Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region ( Linsenmaier 1959; Móczár 1967).

Remarks.

Tsuneki (1953a) wrote that the paratype of Elampus yasumatsui from Shanxi is to be referred to Elampus (= Notozus ) coeruleus f. soror. The taxonomic position of Elampus soror is unclear: according to Linsenmaier (1959) it is a synonym of Elampus coeruleus Dahlbom. It has been considered a variety of Elampus coeruleus ( Bischoff 1913), Elampus panzeri ( Trautmann 1927) and Elampus constrictus ( Móczár 1964b). Only Kimsey and Bohart (1991) listed Elampus soror as a valid species. We here consider Elampus soror as a synonym of Elampus constrictus following Móczár (1967) and Rosa and Soon (2012). Kimsey and Bohart (1991) considered Elampus panzeri and Elampus constrictus synonyms of Chrysis Elampus scutellaris Panzer, but without any type examination.
