Remarks.

Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 489) placed Olochrysis eldari in the genus Chrysura Dahlbom, Chrysis radians group, without type examination. It belongs to the genus Chrysis , elegans group. It is the first available name for Chrysis angustifrons var. ignicollis Trautmann, 1926. Chrysis angustifrons var. ignicollis was described as a variety of Chrysis angustifrons and it was elevated to species rank by Linsenmaier (1959). Linsenmaier (1959, 1968, 1987) did not list Chrysis eldari in his revisions. We propose the new combination: Chrysis eldari (Radoszkowski 1893), and the new synonym: Chrysis angustifrons var. ignicollis Trautmann, 1926 = Chrysis eldari (Radoszkowski, 1893). In HNHM, we examined male and female specimens of Chrysis rubricollis du Buysson, 1900 collected at Burnabat (Turkey) and identified by du Buysson and Mocsáry. They all match the original description and belong to Chrysis eldari . Therefore we also propose the new synonym: Chrysis rubricollis du Buysson, 1900 = Chrysis eldari (Radoszkowski, 1893).
