Remarks.

Spinola (1838) described Pyria stilboides based on one female. The are two specimens of this species in the Spinola collection; one female, perfectly conserved, which we consider the holotype, and a second specimen, badly damaged, which we exclude from the type series. The names written on the label (and in Casolari & Casolari Moreno) refer to Dahlbom’s monograph ( 1854: 347), in which Pyria stilboides is considered a synonym of Chrysis nobilis . The second specimen, according to Spinola’s label and Dahlbom’s work, was named Chrysis producta .

Current status.

Chrysis stilboides (Spinola, 1838) (tranferred by du Buysson (in André) 1896: 649).
