Treatment

Smaragdina xanthaspis ( Germar, 1824)

Clytra xanthaspis Germar, 1824: 547 (original description).

Cyaniris bicoloripes Pic, 1922: 27 (original description), syn. nov.

Type localities. Clytra xanthaspis : ‘Germania’. Cyaniris bicoloripes : ‘Angora’ [= Turkey, Ankara].

Type material examined. Clytra xanthaspis: Not examined.

Cyaniris bicoloripes : SYNTYPES: ♀, ‘ Angora [w, h] // type [w, h] // bicoloripes / n sp [w, h] // TYPE [r, p]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic) ; ♂, ‘ Angora [w, h] // type [w, h]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic) .

Distribution. Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, Near East (for details see REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b).

Comments. Cyaniris bicoloripes was listed as a suspected synonym of S. xanthaspis in the Palaearctic catalogue ( REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b). After examination of two syntypes of C. bicoloripes we can conħrm that both species are conspeciħc and thus C. bicoloripes is synonymized here with S. xanthaspis .
