Remarks.

Spinola (1838) did not write how many specimens the type series consisted of. In the Spinola collection, there are two specimens prepared in the same way under one locality written on the main label. These two specimens likely represent syntypes. One of the syntypes is badly damaged by a dermestid attack. We designate a lectotype of Chrysis incrassata Spinola using the less damaged of the above two specimens. The lectotype lacks the last flagellomeres of the right antenna and the last tarsi of the right hind leg. The type locality is Corsica and not Egypt, even though Chrysis incrassata was described by Spinola in the paper on Egyptian Hymenoptera .

Current status.

Pseudospinolia incrassata (Spinola, 1838) (transferred by Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 547).
