Description

Chrysis splendidula splendidula Rossi, 1790

Chrysis splendidula Rossi, 1790: 78. Syntypes ♂; Italy: Tuscany (ZMB) (splendidula group).

Chrysis subaurata Radoszkowski, 1891: 192. Holotype ♂; Turkmenistan: Ashkabad (ISEA-PAS, examined). Synonym of Chrysis splendidula Rossi, 1790 according to Rosa et al. 2015c: 59 (splendidula group).

Material examined. Uzbekistan: 1♀, Qashqadaryo (Kashkadarya), Karshi, Qashqadaryo River, 38.888448°N 65.831745°E, 13.V.2015, leg. M. Mokrousov, M. Proshchalykin, K. Samartsev (PRC); 1♂, ibid., 1–6.VI.2015, leg. V. Gromenko (PRC); 1♀, 4 km NNE of Uchkulach, 40°33′40′′N 67°22′01′′E, on Limonium otolepis, 27.V.2023, leg. A. Fateryga (ZISP).

Remarks. Other two forms were collected in Uzbekistan:

(i) Chrysis splendidula chlorisans du Buysson, 1895. Material examined: 1♂, 50 km W of Pahtakor, 24.V.1994, leg. M. Halada (MHC).

(ii) Chrysis splendidula subaurata Radoszkowski, 1891. Material examined: 1 ♂, Samarkand env., 19– 21.V.1994, leg. M. Halada (MHC); 2♀, Aktaš, 70 km N of Tashkent, 27.V.1994, leg. M. Halada (MHC, PRC); 1♂, 1♀, Aman Kutan, 1200m, Samarkand, 2.V.1977, leg. K. Deneš (MHC).

The first was originally described as variety and considered a subspecies of Chrysis splendidula by Linsenmaier (1959); the second was listed as a valid species by Kimsey & Bohart (1991) and synonymised with C. splendidula by Rosa et al. (2015c). However, these forms deserve re-evaluation, possibly by means of molecular analysis to correctly assess their status.

Distribution. Uzbekistan (new record), West Palaearctic to Central Asia (Linsenmaier 1959; Rosa et al. 2017a).
