A syntype, ♂, of this species is in collection Baudi, at MRSN. The specimen is in rather bad conditions, abdomen lacking. However it is well recognizable by the blue integuments colour and the elongated body shape.The previous interpretations of this species (Majer, 1982; Liberti, 1995) are here confirmed. Description, drawings and further collection localities can be found in Majer (1982), Liberti (1995: 182, Figs. 49, 50), Constantin (2007) and Constantin & Liberti (2011).

Distribution and comments - An usually uncommon species (but, sometimes, found in numbers) living in central Europe, Corsica, the whole of Italy (not in Sicily and Sardinia) and the Balkans. Its presence in Turkey, witnessed only by one female specimen, should be confirmed.
