They are middle sized to large and robust species, up to 11 mm in length. The head has a well developed transversal frontal carina, often with branches directed to mid-ocellus; the scapal basin has dense and appressed hairs; the compound eyes are large and bulging; the clypeus is elongated as well as the mouthparts, protruding ventrally. The pronotum bears small antero-lateral teeth; the mesoscutum and scutellum are coarsely punctate; the mesopleuron ventrally is characterized by two small teeth; the wings have apex of radial sector distant more than 2 × MOD from anterior wing margin. The metasoma has tergum III with a marked swelling prior to pit row; its posterior margin is multidentate, with irregular teeth of variable number and size.</p> <p>The history of this genus name in Central Asia was confused and discussed in previous articles (Pavesi &amp; Strumia, 1997; Rosa et al., 2017b). In fact, at least three names were used to assign members of this genus, Brugmoia Radoszkowski, 1877, Pseudochrysis Semenow, 1891, Euchroeus Latreille, 1809 and Euchroeus was also used as subgenus of Spinolia Dahlbom, 1854. In particular, Kimsey &amp; Bohart (1991) considered Euchroeus Latreille, 1809 a synonym of Chrysis Linnaeus, 1761 due to a misidentification of the type species, Chrysis purpurata Fabricius, 1787 (Pavesi &amp; Strumia, 1997). Kimsey (1988) proposed the name Brugmoia Radoszkowski, 1877 as the first available name and Tarbinsky (2000) followed this interpretation for the revision of the Central Asian species. However, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1998, Opinion 1906) set aside the lectotype of Chrysis purpurata designated by Kimsey (1988), conserved the name Euchroeus Latreille, 1809 on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology and conserved the name Chrysis purpurata Fabricius, 1787 [currently Euchroeus purpuratus (Fabricius, 1787)] on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology. Consequently, the generic name Brugmoia Radoszkowski has to be considered a synonym of the generic name Euchroeus Latreille.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0389D212FFE9FFB10AB3FD4FFE45FD7A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Scapal basin concave; median stripe polished, with sparse, small punctures; scapal basin widely polished below frontal declivity, laterally micropunctate, covered with dense, short, silvery setae; frons prominent over scapal basin; transverse frontal carina sharp, straight, placed 2.0 × MOD in front of anterior ocellus; malar space elongated, 1.6 × MOD; punctation on frons, with small, dense to contiguous punctures; punctures larger on vertex, and laterally to posterior ocelli. OOL 2.6 × MOD; POL 2.2 × MOD; MS 1.6 × MOD; relative length of P:F1:F2:F3 = 1.0:1.5:1.0:1.0; subantennal space 2.5 × MOD. Mesosoma. Pronotum as long as scutellum; antero-median pronotal line wide and shallow, as long as ½ pronotal length; punctation irregular and contiguous with punctures of different size without polished or micropunctate interspaces; propleuron ventrally bearing bilateral, large, spiniform tooth; mesoscutum basally with punctures rounded to polygonal; mesoscutellum with slightly larger, similar punctures; metanotum with irregular and larger punctures; posterior propodeal projections divergent and basally evidently concave; mesopleuron with hardy visible episternal sulcus, formed by confluent punctures; wide scrobal sulcus formed by subrectangular foveae and subtended by anterior large, digitate tooth and posterior shorter tooth. Wings hyaline, unmodified.</p> <p>Metasoma. Tergum I with double punctation and micropunctate interspaces; tergum II dorsally with smaller and denser punctation, laterally with wider polished interspaces; medial longitudinal carina slightly raised and formed by polished stripe with tiny dots; pit row of tergum III with deep pits; apical margin with irregular teeth; black spots on sternum II small, subsquare.</p> <p>Colouration. Body entirely metallic blue with green reflections; tergum II with a basal, narrow, darker stripe, faint in some paratypes; tegulae metallic green; mandibles light brown medially, metallic green at base. Scape, pedicel and large part of flagellomere I metallic green, following flagellomeres blackish; legs metallic green, tarsi yellowish, becoming darker distally; sterna metallic green.</p> <p>PARATYPES. Body size variable, from 7.0 to 8.5 mm; tergum II without basal, darker stripe; apical teeth on tergum III differently shaped, as in other members of the Euchroeus purpuratus species group.</p> <p>FEMALE. Unknown.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS. Euchroeus armatus sp. n. is characterized by the elongate, spiniform processes on propleuron and antero-ventrally on mesopleuron (Fig. 2A, B); the body blue coloured (Fig. 1A), with greenish reflections, without darker marks and bands; metasomal sculpture distinctly double on tergum I and with small and dense punctures on tergum II (Figs 1B, C). Euchroeus armatus sp. n. is separated from E. purpuratus (Fabricius) by the elongate clypeus (Fig. 3A); the elongate, spiniform process on propleuron and antero-ventrally on mesopleuron (Fig. 2A); by its colouration with metasoma without large darker bands, and different genital capsule (Fig. 3B). The male can be easily separated from the other two known Mongolian species by its body colouration (red colored as the female, with purple marks in E. mongolicus) or by its sculpture (with large, punctures in E. orientis Semenov, 1967 – see the pictures of the type specimen in Rosa et al., 2017a).</p> <p>Euchroeus armatus sp. n. is similar to the Central Asian E. arenarius (Tarbinsky, 2000) for the spiny ventral process of propleuron, but it can be separated by the different shape of the lower mesopleuron, with spiny anterior tooth (digitate in E. armatus) and narrow, arched interval between the anterior and posterior tooth (with a distinct, wide and straight interval in E. armatus).</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY. The specific epithet armatus (= armed, masculine, adjective) refers to the spiniform processes on propleuron and mesopleuron.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION. Mongolia (Dornod, Khentii, Sukhbaatar).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0389D212FFEBFFB40BBCFACAFC76FD36	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Yu.S. Tarbinsky, IBPK; examined); syn. n.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC NOTES. Tarbinky (2000) described three new Central Asian species of Euchroeus (= Brugmoia): E. arenarius, E. kyrgyzicum and E. silaphilus.</p> <p>We examined the type series housed at the Institute of Biology and Pedology of the National Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek). The types of E. kyrgyzicum resulted conspecific with E. limbatus Dahlbom, 1854, one of the most common Euchroeus species from Turkey to Central Asia (type examined). For some reasons, Tarbinsky (2000) in the differential diagnosis compared Euchroeus kyrgyzicum to E. eous (Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1912), which clearly belongs to the purpuratus species group and not to the limbatus species group sensu Linsenmaier (1959). Conversely, in the article he did not mention and key Euchroeus limbatus which has been previously listed in the checklist of the Kyrgyz species (Tarbinsky, 1996). Female holotype and male paratypes of Brugmoia kyrgyzica were examined and photographed (Figs 4, 5). We here synonymize Brugmoia kyrgyzica Tarbinsky, 2000 with Euchroeus limbatus Dahlbom, 1854.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION. Russia (North Caucasus, European part, Urals), Turkey, Central Asia (Rosa et al., 2019).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0389D212FFEEFFB50BBCFDA2FDBAFA14	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
