An annotated catalogue of the types of Chrysididae (Hymenoptera) at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, with brief historical notes

A critical and annotated catalogue of 72 types of Chrysididae (Hymenoptera) belonging to 53 species and subspecies housed in the Swedish Museum of Natural History is given. The lectotypes of Chrysisdiversa Dahlbom, 1845, Chrysissoror Dahlbom, 1854, Chrysurasulcata Dahlbom, 1845 and Holopygaamoenula Dahlbom, 1845 are designated. The previous lectotype of Chrysisdiversa Dahlbom, 1845 is set aside. Five new synonymies are proposed: Chrysiselegansvar.smaragdula Trautmann, 1926 (currently Chrysiselegansssp.interrogata Linsenmaier, 1959 repl. name for smaragdula Trautmann, nec Fabricius, 1775), syn. n. of Chrysisconfluens (Dahlbom, 1845); Chrysiseximia Mocsáry, 1889, syn. n. of Chrysispoecila Mocsáry, 1889; Chrysispyrrhina Dahlbom, 1845, syn. n. of Chrysiserythromelas Dahlbom, 1845; Chrysisseparata Trautmann, 1926, syn. n. of Chrysislateralis Dahlbom, 1845; Chrysissicula Abeille de Perrin, 1877, syn. n. of Chrysiserythromelas Dahlbom, 1845. Chrysisserena Radoszkowski, 1891 is the first available name for Chrysispyrrhinasensuauctorum. Chrysiserythromelas Dahlbom, 1845 is revaluated as valid species. The neotype of Chrysisinaequalis Dahlbom, 1845 is designated in the Linsenmaier collection (NMLS). Illustrations of 34 types are given.
