Chrysis aurifrons Dahlbom, 1854

Chrysis aurifrons : Dahlbom 1854: 122.

Remarks.

Dahlbom (1854: 122) described Chrysis aurifrons based on two specimens from the MNHU (found under the name Chrysis aurifrons Klug) and the Spinola collection (found under the name Chrysis integra var. chrysocephala ). The type locality is "Italia, Mus. Spinolae" and "Asia minori teste D. Loew". We could not find a syntype neither in the Spinola collection and nor at MNHU. Bohart (in Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 491) designated the lectotype based on one specimen from Italy housed in LZM. In Dahlbom’s collection (LZM), there is one specimen labelled as Chrysis aurifrons by Dahlbom, but it is not a syntype and it does not bear any lectotype label by Bohart.
