Remarks.

In the Spinola collection, there are two specimens of Hedychridium cupreum (Dahlbom, 1845) given by Dahlbom. Dahlbom described this species based on female specimens collected in Sweden. It is possible that the two specimens in the Spinola collection are syntypes sent to Spinola by Dahlbom. Abeille (1879: 39) wrote " J’ai vu à Turin [coll. Spinola], sous le nom primitif de Cupreum, deux types de cette charmante espèce venant de Danemark et envoyés par Dahlbom". The locality of Denmark given by Abeille represents likely an error since Scania is a Swedish region. These two specimen have been already considered as possible paralectotypes in Paukkunen et al. (2014).
