Chalcis
Fabricius, 1787
The genus
Chalcis
currently consists of over 60 known species but only 24 are valid when excluding those actually belonging to
Brachymeria
and the Palaearctic species for which the types could not be traced (GD, personal observation). However, only four valid species are known from the Palaearctic region. Two species, namely
C. biguttata
Spinola, 1808
and
C. sispes
L. have already been reported from Iran (Lotfalizadeh
et al
. 2012; Tavakoli Roodi
et al
. 2016).
