Abstract :
[en] This work presents a taxonomic revision of the Palaearctic types of Chrysididae preserved in the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN), in Paris, with notes on non-Palaearctic types. A total of 854 types are revised, of which 546 are Palaearctic and listed in the present article. The museum houses 257 primary types of Palaearctic taxa and 172 primary types of non-Palaearctic taxa. 109 types of taxa previously considered to be lost or doubtfully deposited in Paris were found and labelled; 11 primary types considered to be deposited in Paris were found in other museums; 10 lectotypes or neotypes were designated in other museums and their paralectotypes are deposited at MNHN. Twenty previously designated lectotypes proved to be invalid and 10 types considered to be preserved in the museum proved to be non-type specimens. Sixteen misinterpretations of type materials are reported. Types spread in seven different collections at MNHN were merged together in a “typothèque” (type collection) stored apart from those deposited in the Abeille de Perrin collection and in the general collection. The neotype of Elampus micans Klug, 1835 is designated, and 38 lectotypes are designated for: Chrysis angustifrons Abeille de Perrin, 1878; C. angustifrons var. castillana du Buysson, 1894; C. aureicollis Abeille de Perrin, 1878; C. aurotecta Abeille de Perrin, 1878; C. barbara Lucas, 1849; C. bidentata var. maculifrons du Buysson, 1895; C. cerastes Abeille de Perrin, 1877; C. dives Lucas, 1849; C. dorsata Brullé, 1833; C. elzearii du Buysson, 1894; C. fugax Abeille de Perrin, 1878; C. gribodoi Abeille de Perrin, 1877; C. incisa Abeille de Perrin & du Buysson, 1877; C. igneola du Buysson, 1896; C. ignita var. rutiliventris Abeille de Perrin, 1879; C. igniventris Abeille de Perrin, 1877; C. laevigata Abeille de Perrin, 1879; C. oraniensis Lucas, 1849; C. phryne Abeille de Perrin, 1878; C. rufitarsis Brullé, 1833; Chrysis uncifera Abeille de Perrin, 1878; C. virgo Abeille de Perrin, 1877; Cleptes abeillei du Buysson, 1887; Elampus bidentatus Lucas, 1849; E. chlorosoma Lucas, 1849; Ellampus araraticus Radoszkowski 1890; E. biaccinctus du Buysson, 1892; Hedychridium minutum var. aereolum du Buysson, 1892; H. minutum var. viridimarginale du Buysson, 1892; H. roseum var. chloropyga du Buysson, 1888; Hedychrum micans Lucas, 1849; Holopyga gloriosa var. aureomaculata Abeille de Perrin, 1879; Notozus productus var. vulgata du Buysson, 1892; Omalus aeneus var. pygialis du Buysson, 1887; O. auratus var. abdominalis du Buysson, 1887; Philoctetes abeillei du Buysson, 1892; P. chobauti du Buysson, 1896; P. tiberiadis Abeille de Perrin & du Buysson, 1887. Five species are revalidated: Chrysis incisa Abeille de Perrin, 1887; C. japanensis Linsenmaier, 1951; C. teilhardi du Buysson, 1908; Hedychridium hispanicum du Buysson, 1892; Pentachryis goliath (Abeille de Perrin, 1878). Haba pygmaea (du Buysson, 1898) n. comb. is raised to species rank and moved to the genus Haba from the genus Holopyga. Isadelphus somalinus Zimmermann, 1952 is transferred to the genus Cephaloparnops Semenow, 1901 n. comb. Chrysis mauritii du Buysson, 1896 is included in the graelsii group; C. sinuosiventris Abeille de Perrin, 1878 is transferred to the elegans group; C. serva du Buysson, 1898a to the bihamata group; C. moriceana du Buysson, 1900 to the maculicornis group. Eleven new synonymies are proposed: Elampus bidentatus Lucas, 1849 n. syn. of Pseudomalus auratus (Linnaeus, 1758); E. particeps du Buysson, 1892 n. syn. of Elampus konowi (du Buysson, 1892); Chrysis bidentata var. intermedia du Buysson, 1887b n. syn. of C. viridula Linnaeus, 1761; C. chevrieri Abeille de Perrin, 1877 n. syn. of C. sybarita Förster, 1853; C. continentalis Linsenmaier, 1959 n. syn. of C. dominula Abeille de Perrin, 1877; C. fulvicornis var. lateralis du Buysson 1900 n. syn. of C. annulata Abeille de Perrin & du Buysson, 1887; C. pseudoincisa Balthasar, 1953 n. syn. of C. incisa Abeille de Perrin & du Buysson, 1887; C. psittacina du Buysson, 1887 n. syn. of C. regina Abeille de Perrin & du Buysson, 1887; Hedychridium minutum aereolum du Buysson in André, 1892 n. syn. of H. ardens (Coquebert, 1801); Hedychrum lucidulum lepeletieri du Buysson, 1898 n. syn. of H. rutilans Dahlbom, 1854; Omalus aeneus var. pygialis du Buysson, 1887 n. syn. of Pseudomalus violaceus (Scopoli, 1763). Additionally, five taxa are considered nomina dubia: Chrysis indica Schrank, 1802; C. mendax Abeille de Perrin, 1878; Ellampus testaceicornis du Buysson, 1892; Hedychrum nanum Chevrier, 1870; Holopyga semiignita Marquet, 1878; four names are considered nomina nuda: Chrysis apicata Abeille de Perrin, 1877, C. delphinalis Giraud (in du Buysson 1899), C. dufouri Abeille de Perrin, 1879 and C. rugosula Abeille de Perrin, 1879; one name is declared as nomen oblitum: Chrysis candens Preyssler, 1791, and one as nomen protectum, Chrysis candens Germar, 1817. The replacement name Chrysis roberti nom. nov. is proposed for C. escalerai du Buysson, 1911, nec García Mercet, 1904. All newly designated lectotypes and types of critical taxonomic cases are illustrated.
