Chrysis succincta sensu Linnaeus 1767

Description

36. Chrysis succincta Linnaeus, 1767

Chrysis succincta Linnaeus 1767: 947. Neotype ♂ (designated by Rosa, in prep.); Poland: Bromberg [= Bydgoszcz] (NMLS) (examined). Kawall 1866a: 58, Wengris 1962: 9, Tumšs & Maršakovs 1970: 92, Erlandsson 1971: 88, Soon 2004: 46, Kalniņš et al. 2007: 142, Orlovskytė et al. 2010: 152, Allearter.dk 2010.

C. succincta succincta: Rosa & Soon 2012.

Material examined. Denmark: LFM: Engestofte, 11.VII.1912, 1 ♀ (L. Jørgensen).

Distribution. Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania.—Transpalearctic: Europe, North Africa, Russian Far East (Linsenmaier 1997, Kurzenko & Lelej 2007).

Remarks. This species has often been confused with other species of the succincta group, and records in the literature have to be interpreted with caution. Apparently, Chrysis succincta (sensu stricto) has been found in the studied area only from Denmark, Latvia and Lithuania. Soon (2004) reported the species from Denmark based on a female specimen found in ZMUC (see data above). The species (sensu stricto) was already earlier reported from Denmark by Erlandsson (1971). About five locations are known from Latvia, and the occurrence has been verified by checking specimens in LMSZ in Riga. Orlovskytė et al. (2010) reported the species from Lithuania on the basis of a female specimen collected in southern Lithuania (3 km S of Puvociai). Also Wengris (1962) mentioned the species from Lithuania.

The records from Finland by Rosa & Soon (2012) and Norway by Soon (2004) are obvious mistakes. All records from Sweden (Linsenmaier 1959: 114, Erlandsson 1971: 88, Banaszak 1980: 25, Kunz 1994: 137, Soon 2004: 46, Dyntaxa 2013, Rosa & Soon 2012) are most likely based on the description of Linnaeus (1767: 947), in which Hammarby (Uppland province) is mentioned as the type locality of the species. However, no Swedish specimens of C. succincta have been found from collections. The type material of C. succincta is lost, but most likely C. succincta sensu Linnaeus is conspecific with the current interpretation of C. illigeri Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1806. In order to prevent changes in nomenclature, a neotype for C. succincta has been designated in Linsenmaier’s collection in NMLS (P. Rosa, in prep.), which conforms to the current interpretation of the species.
