443187C9A841FFC0BAFAFC6AFDE6EE5F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is recorded from all countries except Lithuania and Norway. Most records are from Denmark and southern Sweden. In Finland, the species has been found in only two localities (Sa: Taipalsaari and Kl: Parikkala) and it has been classified as regionally extinct (Paukkunen 2010). In Russian Fennoscandia, two specimens have been collected from the Karelian Isthmus (Ik: Metsäpirtti [= Zaporozhskoe] and Rautu [= Sosnovo]) (Forsius 1922, Pulkkinen 1926).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The species has been recorded from two localities in Denmark (see data above), two localities in southern Norway (VAY: Lista and RY: Jaeren) (Ødegaard et al. 2009), and one locality in southwest Sweden (Halland) (Fritz & Larsson 2010). The closest records outside the Nordic countries are from northern Poland (Pomerania) (Noskiewicz & Puławski 1958). In Norway, the species has been classified as vulnerable (Hansen et al. 2010).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The general distribution is poorly known due to confusion of C. pallipes and C. semiauratus by several authors. According to Móczár (2001) C. pallipes has been found from the palearctic, nearctic and oriental regions (Sumatra). In the nearctic and oriental regions the species is probably accidentally introduced (Kimsey & Bohart 1991).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A84EFFCFBAFAFE7CFD13ED7F.taxon	discussion	Remarks: The species has been recorded from all the Nordic and Baltic countries, but it is relatively rare and usually found in small numbers. Until recently, it was confused with C. semiauratus (sensu Móczár, see Cleptes semiauratus below for more details). Dahlbom (1854) synonymized C. pallipes with C. semiauratus, but du Buysson (1891 – 1896) reinstated C. pallipes as a valid species, and Móczár (1949, 2001) supported the validity on the basis of the male genitalia. However, Linsenmaier (1959) used the name semiauratus for pallipes and splendens for semiauratus, while Kimsey & Bohart (1991) presented illustrations of semiauratus, which were actually of pallipes (Rosa 2006). These mistakes have caused many incorrect determinations in collections and the subsequent literature. So far, all specimens collected from Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries and checked by the authors have proven to belong to C. pallipes.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A84EFFCEBAFAF8DFFB3FEA18.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Omalus biaccinctus is a rare species in the Nordic and Baltic countries. It has not yet been recorded in Lithuania. The species has been classified as vulnerable in Finland (Paukkunen 2010). In Sweden it is also uncommon, but was excluded from the latest national red list (Cederberg et al. 2010). The Latvian specimens were found in LMSZ in Riga, where they had been erroneously identified as O. aeneus by Tumšs.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A84FFFCEBAFAFD8CFD5DEEBD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is found in all Nordic and Baltic countries and the northernmost records are from Lapland (north of the 67 ° latitude). Usually it is found only in small numbers. Morphologically it is a highly variable taxon, which most likely consists of several closely related sister species. According to unpublished analyses of COI DNA barcodes, the Nordic and Baltic specimens belong to five genetically distinct lineages (excl. Omalus puncticollis), and several other lineages have been found in other countries. It is possible that most of these lineages represent different biological species. Morphological variation in the different lineages has to be studied in addition to type material in order to assess the status of the lineages and described taxa such as chevrieri (Tournier, 1877), japonicus (Bischoff, 1910) and sauteri (Mocsáry, 1913). The form japonicus was reported from Finland by Linsenmaier (1959) as Omalus sauteri japonicus.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The general distribution is poorly known, because many authors have considered O. puncticollis to be conspecific with O. aeneus.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A84FFFCDBAFAF926FE61EAA6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The status of this taxon has varied considerably in the literature. While some authors have considered it to be a valid species (e. g. Morgan 1984, Kunz 1994, Rosa 2006) others have classified it as a form of O. aeneus (e. g. Trautmann 1927, Linsenmaier 1959, 1997, Kimsey & Bohart 1991, Mingo 1994). Recent unpublished DNA COI barcode studies suggest that O. puncticollis significantly differs genetically from O. aeneus, and most likely should be classified as a distinct species. Morphological and ecological differences have not yet been studied in detail, but apparently O. puncticollis is characterized by large mesonotal punctures, relatively hairy mesonotum, and a deep posteromedian notch on the third tergite. So far, the occurrence of O. puncticollis has been confirmed from Norway and Sweden by DNA barcoding. The distribution of the species is still poorly known in the studied area.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

Balthasar (1954: 90) and later Banaszak (1980: 10) reported the species also from southern Sweden (as Omalus pusillus), but these records are most likely erroneous, as no Swedish specimens have been found from collections. Soon (2004) reported the species from Denmark based on two Danish specimens deposited in ZMUC (see data above). In Latvia, four records are known from the central and southeast part of the country (Tumšs & Maršakovs 1970), and in Lithuania two records are known from the southeast (Pilaitė and Puvočiai) (Orlovskytė et al. 2010).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

Hellén (1920, 1935) reported the form “ ab. viridiventris ” from Finland, which differs from the normal form by possessing a green abdomen. Variation in abdominal colouration is common in this species, and different colourations can also result from different collection and preservation methods. The closely related species Pseudomalus triangulifer was not distinguished from P. auratus prior to the late 1950 s in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Thus earlier published records of P. auratus could represent either species.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A84DFFCCBAFAFD76FAB8ED86.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is closely related to P. auratus and has a similarly wide distribution, but it is much more local and less abundant. The species was reported from Norway only recently on the basis of two old museum specimens (Artsdatabanken 2010). However, many unpublished new records exist from different parts of the country (provinces AK, Ø, BØ, TEY, TEI). The species was reported from Denmark by Soon (2004) on the basis of four specimens found in ZMUC (see data above). In Finland, the species has been included in the national red list as near threatened (Paukkunen 2010), and in Norway as data deficient (Hansen et al. 2010). Kunz (1994) synonymized P. triangulifer with P. auratus, but most authors have considered them as separate species.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A84AFFCBBAFAFDB2FE89ED56.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is known from Denmark, Estonia and Sweden. It has also been reported from Norway by Trautmann (1927: 36, as Omalus truncatus), Benno 1950: 27 (as Omalus truncatus), Balthasar (1954: 89, as Omalus truncatus), Erlandsson (1971: 88, as Chrysellampus truncatus), Soon (2004: 45) and Artsdatabanken 2010. However, the record from Norway is based on an old, unlabeled specimen, which might not have been collected from Norway (Artsdatabanken 2010). In Sweden most records are old and the species has been classified as data deficient in the Swedish red list (Cederberg et al. 2010, Cederberg 2012). Only one recent record is known from the country (Sm: Bergkvara 14 – 21. VII. 1996, by yellow pan trap, leg. Roy Danielsson). In Denmark only old records are known.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A84AFFCABAFAF96CFAB8EDA9.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is recorded from all countries except Latvia and Lithuania, but it is everywhere rare and local. Its distribution area extends north of the 66 ° latitude in Finland. The species has been classified as near threatened in Finland (Paukkunen 2010), Norway (Hansen et al. 2010) and Sweden (Cederberg et al. 2010). Elampus constrictus has often been confused with other species of Elampus, whereby many different names have been used for it in the literature. The name spina was erroneously attributed to this species by Sahlberg (1910) and Hellén (1920) in Finland and by Aurivillius (1911) and Jansson (1922, 1934) in Sweden. Earlier the name productus, which currently is considered to be a synonym of spina, was used by Borries (1891) and Thomson (1870). The names of E. constrictus and E. panzeri were accidentally interchanged by Trautmann (1927), and later several authors, e. g. Hellén (1935), Linsenmaier (1951, 1959, 1997), Balthasar (1954), Tumšs & Maršakovs (1970), Hansen et al. (2010) and Ødegaard et al. (2011), followed Trautmann. The name confusion was due to a mislabeled type specimen, as has been explained by Móczár (1964). Some authors have incorrectly synonymized these species, e. g. Kimsey & Bohart (1991), Kunz (1994) and Mingo (1994). Tumšs & Maršakovs (1970) reported both E. constrictus and E. panzeri from Latvia (as Notozus), and later Soon (2004) and Rosa & Soon 2012 repeated their records. However, Tumšs & Maršakovs’ record of E. constrictus was sensu Trautmann (= E. panzeri) and the record of E. panzeri sensu Fabricius, based on publications of Kawall (1864) and Bischoff (1925), so only E. panzeri is found from Latvia. Tumšs & Maršakovs’ specimens have been checked in LMSZ in Riga. Móczár (1964 b) divided E. constrictus into four varieties in Europe in addition to the nominate form: var. ambiguus Dahlbom, 1854, var. angustatus Mocsáry, 1889, var. coeruleus Dahlbom, 1854 and var. soror Mocsáry, 1889. Also Hellén (1920) described two forms: “ ab. prasina ” and “ ab. coerulescens ” on the basis of Finnish and Russian Fennoscandian specimens (both invalid names). Later he replaced these with “ ab. soror ” and “ ab. rufitarsis ” in the Finnish checklist (Hellén 1935). Clearly, E. constrictus is a very variable species in terms of its colouration, shape of the anal rim, etc. Unpublished molecular studies support the view that the different forms represent only intraspecific variation and not separate, genetically or geographically differentiated, taxa.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The northernmost record is from the 66 ° 50 ′ latitude. It has been confused with E. constrictus by many authors, as explained above (see E. constrictus). Hellén (1920) reported “ ab. angustatus ” from Finland, but replaced it with “ ab. unicolor ” in the Finnish checklist (Hellén 1935), as angustatus was synonymized with E. constrictus (= E. panzeri sensu Trautmann 1927) by Trautmann (1927). The form unicolor differs from the nominate form by its green abdomen. However, intraspecific colour variation is common and gradual among E. panzeri specimens, and the use of such infrasubspecific names is not recommended.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The species is very rare and only known from three coastal localities in Finland (N: Hanko, Om: Kokkola, Oba: Oulu) and two localities in Russian Fennoscandia. In Finland, it is classified as critically endangered (Paukkunen 2010). The species was erroneously synonymized with H. fervida by Trautmann (1927) and Linsenmaier (1951, 1959). However, Linsenmaier (1987) later reinstated it as a valid species. Dahlbom (1854) described the species as Hedychrum metallicum on the basis of one specimen collected by W. Nylander from Finland in 27. VII. 1844. The holotype is a small male, and it is deposited in MZH in Helsinki (Fig. 2). It has the original labels “ Uleåborg ” (= Oulu), “ d. 27 / 7 44 ”, “ Coll. Nylander ”, “ n. sp.? ” and “ 256. ”. Type labels have been added later, including the holotype label.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

Strand (1898: 97) reported the species from Norway, and later also Erlandsson (1971: 88), Soon (2004: 45), Artsdatabanken (2010) and Rosa & Soon (2012) mentioned it from the country. However, all Norwegian museum material under this name has turned out to belong to other species. In the latest Norwegian red list, the species was classified as data deficient (Hansen et al. 2010). Only two old specimens are known from Denmark (see data above). The name of this species has varied much in the literature. Dahlbom’s name ovata was in common use in the late 19 th and 20 th centuries, while in the early 20 th century ovata was erroneously replaced by gloriosa and amoenula by many authors. The name gloriosa was later suppressed as a nomen dubium (ICZN 1998). Linsenmaier (1987, 1997) considered generosa as a subspecies of Holopyga fastuosa (Lucas, 1849) and synonymized ovata with generosa. According to an unpublished revision of European type material the name will once again change as another older name has been found for the taxon (Rosa, in prep.).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

Additionally, Balthasar (1954: 126) reported the species from Finland and Trautmann (1930: 496) from Scandinavia. All these records are doubtful as we have not seen any Scandinavian specimens or Finnish specimens collected before the late 1950 s in collections. As far as we know, the first record of H. rutilans in Finland was made in 1959 near the southeastern border, after which the species has been expanding its distribution towards the west, following its host Philanthus triangulum.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

Records published prior to 1960 represent either H. nobile or the closely related species H. niemelai, which was described in 1959 by Linsenmaier. Hellén (1920) described “ ab. viridiventris ” from Finland, but replaced it with “ ab. lepeletieri ” in the Finnish checklist (Hellén 1935). This form differs from the typical form by having a greenish abdomen. The difference is not always distinct, and intermediate specimens are common. We do not recommend the use of these infrasubspecific names.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A855FFD4BAFAFD02FE1FEFC1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is closely related to H. nobile, from which it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish. It is not as common as H. nobile, but its distribution area seems to extend slightly further north in Finland and Sweden. Kunz (1994) synonymized H. niemelai with H. nobile on the basis of the similarity of male genitalia. Recent authors, however, consider them to be separate species. Unpublished molecular data also support the recognition of H. niemelai as a valid species. Soon (2004) reported the species from Denmark based on 43 specimens deposited in ZMUC. Many authors have used the spelling niemelaei instead of the correct form niemelai for the name of this species (e. g. Jacobs & Kornmilch 2007). Originally, the taxon was named after the Finnish entomologist Paavo Niemelä as niemeläi by Linsenmaier (1959). According to the ICZN (1999, article 32.5.2.1.), diacritic marks are deleted in scientific names, unless the name was based upon a German word and published before 1985, in which case the umlaut sign is deleted from a vowel and the letter " e " is inserted after that vowel. Because Niemelä is a Finnish name (not German), as cited by the author in the original description, the correct spelling is niemelai.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

In Latvia it has been recorded in one locality (Krāslava) (Tumšs 1976) and in Lithuania in three localities (Baltupiai, Karoliniškės, Leoniškės) (Wengris 1962). We have checked the Latvian specimens, which are deposited in LMSZ in Riga. According to Orlovskytė et al. (2010), the Lithuanian specimens have not been found in collections. Buysson (1898: 548) reported “ H. lucidum var. Szaboi ” from St. Petersburg. Whether this record refers to H. chalybaeum is uncertain. The closest confirmed records outside Latvia and Lithuania are from the Pskov Oblast in Russia (23 km S of Sebezh, Krasikovo), Poland (Banaszak 1980, Szczepko & Wiśniowski 2009), Belarus (Shljachtenok 2006) and northern Germany (Jakobs & Kornmilch 2007).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A852FFD2BAFAF936FAE7EE13.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is common in all Nordic and Baltic countries. In Norway, many specimens have been erroneously placed under the genus Holopyga in collections, and therefore the species has been wrongly considered as rare in the country. The northernmost records are from southern Finnish Lapland (Obb: Rovaniemi). Dahlbom (1829) reported the species from Sweden initially with the name Chrysis integra. Although he attributed the authorship of the species to Fabricius, his description differs significantly from that of Fabricius (1793: 241), and they cannot be regarded as referring to the same species. Fabricius, for example, stated that the species resembles C. ignita in its shape (" Statura et summa affinitas C. ignitae "), whereas according to Dahlbom it resembles C. aurata (= Pseudomalus auratus) in its shape (" Statura Chr. aurata at paullo minor "). Apparently, Dahlbom had seen only Fabricius’ later shorter description of the species, published in 1804, which does not include information on e. g. the body shape. Later (1831), Dahlbom treated C. integra as three varieties (a, b and c), of which var. a referred to his original description of the species, and var. b and var. c represented new forms. Var. b can be seen as a green form of H. ardens, while var. c corresponds with the current interpretation of H. cupreum. In 1845 Dahlbom transferred C. integra to the genus Hedychrum (as H. integrum) and described var. c as a new species, H. cupreum. Additionally, he reported H. ardens as a distinct species, closely related to H. integrum and rare in Europe. In 1854, Dahlbom found out that his earlier interpretation of integrum was a synonym of H. minutum Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau (= H. ardens), but erroneously proposed the name integrum as a replacement name for cupreum, considering cupreum to be a homonym of cupratum Klug. Dahlbom also wrongly considered ardens to be a synonym of lucidulum Fabricius (= Hedychrum nobile). As Dahlbom’s description of C. integra (= Hedychrum integrum of 1845) is valid (nec Fabricius, 1793) and corresponds with the current interpretation of H. ardens, the nominal species Chrysis integra Dahlbom, 1829 should be considered a new synonym of H. ardens.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A850FFD1BAFAFE7CFDF7EE67.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species has been recorded from all the Nordic and Baltic countries. It is not as common as H. ardens, but has a similar wide distribution. The northernmost records are from close to the Arctic circle in Finland. Dahlbom (1845: 3) described H. cupreum from female specimens collected in Sweden (“ H. cupreum nob. ♀ Svecia passim ”). As far as we know, only three specimens found in European museums have been determined as H. cupreum by Dahlbom as indicated by the original labels of the author. Two of these have been deposited in Spinola’s collection in Turin (MSNT), and the third one is preserved in Vienna (NMW). The specimen in Vienna is a female with the labels “ 41. “, “ H. cupreum Lund. Dhlb. “ (handwritten by Dahlbom?) and “ Dahlbom vidit 1850. “ (Fig. 3). Since this specimen was very likely collected in Lund by Dahlbom and later donated to the museum in Vienna, it probably belongs to the type series and therefore it is here designated as the lectotype, matching the current interpretation of the taxon. The specimen has two lectotype labels: one added by us here and an older one, added by P. Rosa in 2012. The older label is not valid, because a lectotype designation has not been published earlier. In Dahlbom’s collection in Lund (ZMUL) there is also one female specimen of H. cupreum, which has a lectotype label added by T. Peeters in 1996. This specimen, however, does not have type status either, because no lectotype designation has been published.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A851FFD0BAFAFF77FAA9ECD7.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Hedychridium caputaureum has often been confused with H. roseum in the Nordic and Baltic countries and its distribution is still not well known. It has possibly been overlooked in Denmark and Norway. Compared to H. roseum, it is less common and strictly confined to areas with populations of its crabronid host Astata minor. It has been classified as vulnerable in Finland (Paukkunen 2010) and Sweden (Cederberg et al. 2010). Arens (2010) considered caputaureum to be a subspecies of H. chloropygum, while Linsenmaier (1959) had earlier classified it as a subspecies of H. roseum. According to Arens, H. chloropygum consists of two subspecies in Europe: ssp. chloropygum (distributed from the Iberian peninsula to Hungary) and ssp. caputaureum (from central, southeastern and northern Europe). A third subspecies, ssp. ottomanum, is found in Asia Minor. The taxa spatium and densum of Linsenmaier (1959) were synonymized with ssp. caputaureum by Arens. We consider chloropygum and caputaureum to be separate species, as they are both well characterized and have partially overlapping distribution areas. Also e. g. Niehuis (2001) and Rosa (2006) treated H. caputaureum as a distinct species.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A85FFFDDBAFAFC32FE41EA3B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species has been found from all the Nordic and Baltic countries except Norway. It is relatively rare in Finland and Sweden and only found in the southern parts of these countries. It was classified as near threatened in the Finnish redlist (Paukkunen 2010). Before the 1950 s, Chrysis bicolor was not considered as a separate species in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Instead, all species of the C. succincta group were treated as C. succincta (sensu lato). Hellén (1920) described four new forms of C. succincta from Finland: 1) “ ab. virideocincta ”, 2) “ ab. chrysoprasina ”, 3) “ ab. westerlundi ” and 4) “ ab. nordströmi ”. Later Trautmann (1927) treated these taxa as varieties (var.) and Balthasar (1953) as forms (f.) of C. succincta, and thus made their names available as species-group names (ICZN 1999, article 45.6.3.). As Trautmann was the first author to make the names available, he should be considered as their author (ICZN 1999, article 50.3.1.). C. succincta var. virideocincta was described by Trautmann (1927) as having a golden green mesonotum, but otherwise resembling the nominate form (“ Mesonotum goldgrün, sonst wie nominatsform ”), and it was said to occur in Finland. The same description was given earlier by Hellén (1920) for “ ab. virideocincta ”. One male specimen of this taxon was found in the collection of MZH in Helsinki, which bears Hellén’s label “ succincta L. ab. virideocincta m. Hellén det. ” and Linsenmaier’s label “ Chrysis bicolor Lep. ♂ Linsenmaier det. ” and two other labels with “ Kexholm ” (= the collection locality, Käkisalmi, currently Priozersk) and “ Tengström ” (= the collector, J. M. J. af Tengströn (1821 – 1890 )) respectively (Fig. 4). In order to maintain stability in nomenclature, this specimen is here designated as the lectotype of C. succincta var. virideocincta Trautmann, 1927. The lectotype fits well with the current interpretation of C. bicolor, and therefore the name virideocincta should be considered as a junior synonym of bicolor. This synonymy was already stated by Vikberg (1986 b), but he erroneously attributed the authorship of virideocincta to Balthasar (1953). Kimsey & Bohart (1991), in turn, placed virideocincta in synonymy with C. succincta.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A85CFFDBBAFAFDA7FE55EACD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species has been found from seven localities in Finland and one locality in Russian Fennoscandia (former Finnish territory). From each locality only single specimens have been collected. C. westerlundi has been classified as near threatened in Finland (Paukkunen 2010). As explained above (see C. bicolor), Hellén (1920) described four aberrations (ab.) of C. succincta (sensu lato), which were later made available as species-group names by Trautmann (1927), who treated them as varieties (var.), and by Balthasar (1953), who treated them as forms (f.). According to Trautmann’s descriptions, which were mainly copied from Hellén’s publication, var. westerlundi is characterized by a uniformly blue green coloured head and thorax, but otherwise resembling the nominate form (“ Kopf und Thorax einfarben blaugrün, sonst wie Nominatsform ”), while var. nordströmi is characterized by a black blue mesonotum (“ Mesonotum schwarzblau, sonst wie Nominatsform ”). Both of these varieties were stated to be found in Finland only (Trautmann 1927). For ab. westerlundi, a single locality was mentioned by Hellén (1920): “ Kol: Salmis (Westerlund) ” (= Kl: Salmi, leg. A. Westerlund). Additionally, a reference to Westerlund’s (1893) publication was given, where the expression “ Chrysis sp. ignota ” (‘ unknown Chrysis species’) was used for the taxon. According to Westerlund (1893), only a single specimen was collected by him from a sandy road verge in Salmi, Uusikylä in 17. VI. 1890. As Hellén’s and Trautmann’s descriptions are based on a single specimen, the holotype of Chrysis succincta var. westerlundi Trautmann, 1927 is fixed by monotypy (ICZN 1999, article 73.1.2.). The holotype is deposited in the collection of MZH. It is a male specimen, which bears the printed labels “ Salmis ”, “ Westerlund ” and “ 745 ”, and also Hellén’s label “ succincta L ab. westerlundi m. Hellén det. ” and Linsenmaier’s label “ Chrysis L. ♂ bicolor Lep. var. westerlundi Hell. Linsenmaier det. ” (Fig. 5). A red holotype label is added here by the authors. Also only a single record of ab. nordströmi was mentioned by Hellén (1920): “ N: Pärnå (Nordström) ” (= N: Pernaja, leg. Å. Nordström). As the record could include more than one specimen, it is not possible to fix a holotype by monotypy. In the collection of MZH, a single female specimen was found, which bears the printed labels “ Pärnå ” and “ Nordström ” and also Hellén’s label “ succincta ab. nordströmi m. Hellén det. ” and Linsenmaier’s label “ Chrysis L. ♂ bicolor Lep. var. westerlundi Hellén Linsenmaier det. ” (Fig. 6). This syntype specimen is here designated as the lectotype of Chrysis succincta var. nordstromi Trautmann, 1927. According to the ICZN (1999, article 32.5.2.1.), the correct spelling of the name is without diacritic marks (see also Hedychrum niemelai). Linsenmaier (1959) was the first to consider westerlundi as a full species, “ Chrysis westerlundi Hellén, 1918 / 19 ”. Later some authors, e. g. Kimsey & Bohart (1991) followed Linsenmaier’s view, but attributed the authorship of the species erroneously to Linsenmaier. The taxon nordstromi was treated as a synonym of C. westerlundi by Linsenmaier (1959) and Kimsey & Bohart (1991, misspelled as nordstroemi). According to the manuscript notes of the late E. Valkeila, westerlundi was treated as a synonym of C. bicolor by Vikberg (1986 a), while nordstromi was considered as a synonym of C. helleni (= illigeri). Vikberg (1986 b) attributed the names erroneously to Balthasar (1953). Recent studies have shown that westerlundi and nordstromi are conspecific, and their types represent the opposite sexes of the same species. The name westerlundi has priority, as it was used as a valid name before nordstromi in Trautmann’s (1927) publication. C. westerlundi is morphologically and genetically distinct from other European species of the C. succincta group. It is easy to distinguish from e. g. C. bicolor and C. illigeri by the colouration of its mesonotum and the length of its hind tarsi. However, the Far Eastern species C. cavaleriei Buysson, 1908 and the North American species C. provancheri Schulz, 1906 (= aurichalcea Provancher, 1881) are closely related and possibly conspecific with C. westerlundi. Additional morphological and genetic studies should be implemented in order to determine their synonymy. So far, C. westerlundi has not been found outside of Finland and Russian Fennoscandia.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A85AFFDABAFAFD3EFBD9ECA0.taxon	discussion	Remarks: The species is relatively common and widespread in the study area. Soon (2004) reported it from Denmark based on about 50 Danish specimens deposited in ZMUC (determined by E. Valkeila as C. helleni). The Latvian specimens were found in the collections of LMSZ in Riga, where they were incorrectly determined as C. bicolor. The northernmost records in Finland and Sweden are from approximately the 64 ° 50 ′ northern latitude. As explained above, Hellén (1920) described four aberrations (ab.) of C. succincta (sensu lato), which were later raised to variety (var.) level by Trautmann (1927), thus making them available as species or subspecies names according to the rules of the ICZN (1999, article 45.6.3.). One of these taxa, ab. chrysoprasina of Hellén, was described as var. chrysoprassina by Trautmann. The extra s-letter in Trautmann’s name is most likely due to a mistake or typographical error, and therefore should be omitted (ICZN 1999, article 32.5.1). The taxon was described as having a golden green head, thorax, first tergite and base of second tergite, but otherwise resembling the nominate form (“ Kopf, Thorax, 1. und Basis vom 2. Abdomentergit ist goldgrün, sonst wie Nominatsform ”). It was also said to be common in the males, and to occur in Finland and central Europe (Trautmann 1927). Apparently, either Hellén (1920) or Trautmann (1927) did not realize that the name chrysoprasina was a homonym of Chrysis chrysoprasina Förster, 1853. Thus Balthasar (1953) and later Linsenmaier (1959) introduced the replacement name helleni for the taxon. The authorship of helleni should be attributed to Balthasar, not Linsenmaier, as noted already by Vikberg (1986 a). Thus the correct original combination for the name is Chrysis succincta f. helleni Balthasar, 1953. Linsenmaier (1959) raised helleni to species level, and later also e. g. Erlandsson (1971), Morgan (1984), Vikberg (1986 b) and Kimsey & Bohart (1991) considered it to be a distinct species. Leclercq (1988) synonymized helleni with Chrysis illigeri Wesmael, 1839, although he was not able to study the type of helleni. After Leclercq’s publication, helleni has been treated as a junior synonym of illigeri by several authors. In Hellén’s original description, three records of ab. chrysoprasina, are mentioned: 1) “ Ab: Lojo (Håk. Lindb.) ”, 2) “ N: Pärnå (Nordström) ” and 3) “ Kl: Kexholm (Tengström) ”. Accordingly, only specimens linked to these records should be considered as syntypes of C. succincta var. chrysoprasina Trautmann, 1927. One male specimen collected from Lojo (= Lohja) by Håkan Lindberg is deposited in Linsenmaier’s collection in NMLS, and it has Hellén’s label “ succincta ab. chrysoprasina m. Hellén det. ” and a red label “ Type ”. A male specimen from Pärnå (= Pernaja) collected by Åke Nordström is deposited in MZH in Helsinki, and it bears Hellén’s label “ Chrysis succincta L. ♂ ab. chrysoprasina m. Hellén det. ” and Linsenmaier’s label “ Chrysis L. Chrysogona bicolor var. helleni ♂ Linsenmaier det., Allotypus ” (Fig. 7). Apparently, the syntype / syntypes from Kexholm (= Käkisalmi / Priozersk) is / are lost. The syntype collected from Pärnå is congruent with the current interpretation of C. illigeri (e. g. Linsenmaier 1997, Rosa 2006). However, the other syntype, collected from Lojo, belongs to the species C. bicolor. In order to maintain stable nomenclature, the syntype collected from Pärnå and deposited in MZH is here designated as the lectotype of C. succincta var. chrysoprasina Trautmann, 1927. According to the ICZN (1999, article 72.7), this specimen is also the type of Chrysis succincta f. helleni Balthasar, 1953. Kimsey & Bohart (1991), Kunz (1994) and Mingo (1994) considered C. illigeri to be a junior synonym of C. bicolor. However, Kimsey & Bohart (1991) treated helleni as a valid species. Kunz based the synonymy mainly on the variability of the anal margin of the third tergite. As Rosa (2006) pointed out, the species cannot always be separated reliably without studying the shape of the black spots of the second sternite. In the Nordic and Baltic countries, C. bicolor and C. illigeri can always be separated from each other with a combination of different morphological characters, and there is no doubt that they represent separate species.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A85BFFD9BAFAFB04FA0CE8F8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species has often been confused with other species of the succincta group, and records in the literature have to be interpreted with caution. Apparently, Chrysis succincta (sensu stricto) has been found in the studied area only from Denmark, Latvia and Lithuania. Soon (2004) reported the species from Denmark based on a female specimen found in ZMUC (see data above). The species (sensu stricto) was already earlier reported from Denmark by Erlandsson (1971). About five locations are known from Latvia, and the occurrence has been verified by checking specimens in LMSZ in Riga. Orlovskytė et al. (2010) reported the species from Lithuania on the basis of a female specimen collected in southern Lithuania (3 km S of Puvociai). Also Wengris (1962) mentioned the species from Lithuania. The records from Finland by Rosa & Soon (2012) and Norway by Soon (2004) are obvious mistakes. All records from Sweden (Linsenmaier 1959: 114, Erlandsson 1971: 88, Banaszak 1980: 25, Kunz 1994: 137, Soon 2004: 46, Dyntaxa 2013, Rosa & Soon 2012) are most likely based on the description of Linnaeus (1767: 947), in which Hammarby (Uppland province) is mentioned as the type locality of the species. However, no Swedish specimens of C. succincta have been found from collections. The type material of C. succincta is lost, but most likely C. succincta sensu Linnaeus is conspecific with the current interpretation of C. illigeri Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1806. In order to prevent changes in nomenclature, a neotype for C. succincta has been designated in Linsenmaier’s collection in NMLS (P. Rosa, in prep.), which conforms to the current interpretation of the species.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The other specimen was found in Maršakovs’ collection in Riga, and it turned out to belong to C. graelsii. Although the other specimen could not be found, it is probably also misidentified, because Maršakovs made many mistakes in his identifications, and it is likely that both specimens collected from the same locality on the same day and identified in the same way are conspecific.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A859FFD8BAFAFECFFF40ED4D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is rare in the studied area. It has not been found in Denmark and Norway, and only a small number of specimens are known from the Baltic countries. In Finland, C. rutilans has been classified as near threatened (Paukkunen 2010). The status of the closely related species C. insperata is still uncertain. C. insperata is difficult to separate from C. rutilans, and Kunz (1994) and several subsequent authors considered C. insperata as a nomen dubium. However, e. g. Linsenmaier (1959, 1997) and Rosa (2006) considered both C. insperata and C. rutilans as valid species. Most authors have suggested C. rutilans to be the more common of the two species, and only relatively few records of C. insperata have been published from Finland (Paukkunen et al. 2009, Ranta 2011) and Sweden (Linsenmaier 1959, Erlandsson 1971, Hedström 1989, Johansson 2013 a). It is yet possible that C. insperata is actually the prevailing species in North Europe. The status of these taxa should be studied in the future in more detail.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A866FFE6BAFAF94AFD9DE9D0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dahlbom (1854) reported one specimen from Östergötland in Sweden (” Ostrogothia Sveciae a me olim deprehensum ” [= Östergötland Sweden once detected by me, Dahlbom]). Several authors later reported the species from Sweden based on Dahlbom’s record. However, it was not included in the Swedish checklists by Erlandsson (1971) and Dyntaxa (2013). We have checked Dahlbom’s specimen, which is deposited in Lund (ZMUL) and it is correctly identified. The specimen has no geographical label, but as it was collected and reported from Sweden by Dahlbom, most likely it is genuinely of Swedish origin. No other records of C. indigotea are known from northern Europe. It is possible that the species has gone extinct in Sweden. The closest verified records of C. indigotea are from central Germany (Kroupa et al. 2012). C. indigotea was added to the Finnish fauna by Silfverberg (1981: 61), who referred to Erlandsson (1971: 90). However, as noted by Vikberg (1986 a), Erlandsson did not record the species from Finland but East Fennoscandia. No specimens of C. indigotea from Finland or Russian Fennoscandia have been found in collections, so most likely Erlandsson’s record is incorrect.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A867FFE6BAFAFDF1FB45EFF2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is widespread and the northernmost records are from Lapland (north of 69 ° latitude). Usually it is found in low numbers. In Norway the species has been classified as near threatened (Hansen et al. 2010). Dahlbom (1831) desribed Chrysis undata on the basis of a specimen collected from Kinnaskog, Västergötland, by L. Gyllenhaal. The species was also mentioned by Zetterstedt (1840) as occurring in Sweden, and by Kimsey & Bohart (1991) as an unknown species. Dahlbom placed C. undata in his subgroup of Chrysis with a mostly red abdomen (“ Abdomine aureo ”). Yet according to the description, the first abdominal segment was totally greengolden, the base of the second blue, its apex with a broad, waved golden band, and the third segment blue in the middle, etc. (“ Abdominis segmentum 1: mum totum viridi-aureum; 2: mum basi cyaneum, apice fascia lata undata aurea; 3: tium cyaneum, in medio ... ”). The apex of the abdomen was described as being slightly rounded and bluntly but clearly four-toothed (“ apice subrotundatum et obtuse attamen perspicue quadridentatum ”). Dahlbom also mentioned several other characters in the description, for example the body size, which was reported as similar to C. ignita (“ Magnitudo Chrysidis ignitae ”). Unfortunately, the type of C. undata is probably lost, as it has not been found from the Swedish museums. The characters mentioned in the description fit relatively well with the male of C. fulgida. The blue colour in the middle of the third tergite might be caused by accidental discolouration or wetting. Although Dahlbom included C. fulgida in his work as a separate species, he did not mention any morphological differences between the sexes of this species. Therefore it is possible that he did not know that the male of this species differs significantly from the female. According to Dahlbom, C. undata was described from a female specimen, but this could be a mistake or typographical error. Dahlbom did not mention the species in his later works, which might be due to his realization that it represents another species.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The records from Norway of Balthasar (1954), Noskiewicz & Pulawski (1958) and Banaszak (1980) are probably erroneous. In Finland and Sweden, C. iris has declined significantly since the 1950 s, and it is currently very rare. It has been classified as critically endangered in Finland (Paukkunen 2010) and vulnerable in Sweden (Cederberg et al. 2010). Chrysis soluta was described by Dahlbom (1854) as a separate species from C. nitidula (= C. iris), based on one Swedish specimen. However, the specimen, which is preserved in ZMUL in Lund, represents an exceptionally small individual of C. iris, which has malformed venation in the forewings.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A865FFE3BAFAFA95FD3BEC58.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species has been reported from all the Nordic and Baltic countries except Estonia, though most published records have turned out to be based on misidentified specimens. So far, only two specimens collected from southern Sweden and five specimens from southern Norway have proven to belong to this species (see data above). Also one specimen from northwestern Denmark is known, which was determined by Linsenmaier and is preserved in Linsenmaier’s collection in NMLS (see data above). The determinations of the Norwegian specimens were confirmed by comparing their DNA barcodes with a barcode of a Swiss specimen determined by Linsenmaier (Soon et al. 2014). The species seems to have a western distribution in northern Europe. It has been found in northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein (Smissen 2010 c), and according to Morgan (1984), it is widespread in the British Isles. The species was reported from Finland by Silfverberg (1981: 61, as C. rutiliventris [erroneously based on Erlandson 1971: 88]), Vikberg (1986 b: 68, as C. rutiliventris) and Söderman & Vikberg (2002: 45, as C. rutiliventris vanlithi). All Finnish specimens in collections have been found to belong to other species (e. g. C. schencki). The records from Latvia (Soon 2004: 46, as C. rutiliventris) and Lithuania (Rosa & Soon 2012, as C. rutiliventris rutiliventris) as well as some records from Sweden (e. g. Hallin 2009, 2012, as C. rutiliventris) are also likely to be erroneous. The taxon was reported from Norway by Strumia & Berg (1995, as C. rutiliventris), and later it was listed by Artsdatabanken (2010, as C. rutiliventris) and Rosa & Soon (2012, as C. rutiliventris). These records were also based on misidentified specimens. Linsenmaier (1959) described C. vanlithi as a subspecies of C. rutiliventris. According to the description, it differs from the nominotypical subspecies in its larger size, shorter anal rim and less even punctation on the second tergite (posteriorly sparser and anteriorly coarser). It was also reported to occur in central and northern Europe, whereas C. rutiliventris sensu stricto is mainly restricted to the south. Linsenmaier (1997) already suggested that ssp. vanlithi could be a separate species. In fact, mitochondrial DNA studies, and the coexistence of vanlithi and the nominotypical subspecies in central Europe support their classification as separate species (Rosa 2006, Soon et al. 2014). C. vanlithi was listed as a separate species in the Swedish taxonomic database (Dyntaxa 2013), and we have also considered it as a distinct species. Linsenmaier (1997) placed C. rutiliventris and C. ruddii to his “ ruddii - Aspekt ” of the Chrysis ignita group, which is characterized by a short and broad pronotum, relatively dense punctation of the second tergite, and long, dense pubescense. According to molecular studies, C. vanlithi is not closely related to C. rutiliventris but belongs to the Chrysis comta subgroup sensu Soon & Saarma (2011). The holotype of C. vanlithi, which is deposited in Linsenmaier’s collection in NMLS, morphologically resembles the Swiss and Norwegian specimens included in the DNA study (Soon et al. 2014). Thus the attribution of the name C. vanlithi to Nordic species is supported, although more detailed studies are still needed.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A863FFE2BAFAFE46FBF2ECFB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Chrysis angustula is the most common cuckoo wasp species in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The northernmost records are from Finnish Lapland (Li: Inari). Old records in the literature of “ C. ignita ” probably often refer to this species. Linsenmaier (1959, 1997) used the name C. angustula gracilis for specimens with dense and fine punctation at the base of the second tergite. However, most authors have not considered gracilis to be a separate subspecies. In fact, the status of gracilis is uncertain, because the type material is lost (Niehuis 2000). In 2000, Niehuis described the subspecies C. angustula alpina based on its morphology and restricted distribution within the Alps. In northern Europe, only the nominotypical subspecies has been found.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A863FFE1BAFAFAEFFBB9EBED.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is widespread, but scarce in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The northernmost records are from northern Finland (Lkoc: Kittilä) and Sweden (Lu. Lpm: Gällivare). In Finland, C. longula seems to have declined and it has been classified as near threatened (Paukkunen 2010). Soon (2004) reported the species from Denmark based on 18 Danish specimens in ZMUC (det. E. Valkeila). One female specimen from Sb: Kuopio, Finland was selected by W. Linsenmaier as a paratype (“ cotype ”) of Chrysis longula aeneopaca Linsenmaier, 1959. According to Linsenmaier (1959) aeneopaca is an eastern subspecies of C. longula, the distribution of which covers Fennoscandia (Finland), Siberia, Transcaspia, China and Japan. Morphologically it is similar to the nominotypical form, but the tergites are basally darker brown, and the basal part of the second tergite has finer and denser punctation. In this respect it resembles C. subcoriacea. In fact, E. Valkeila and Vikberg (1986 b) considered it erroneously as a synonym of C. subcoriacea. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA has shown that genetic divergence between C. l. aeneopaca and C. l. longula is very low, suggesting that they probably are conspecific (Soon et al., 2014). No other specimens of Chrysis l. aeneopaca are known from Finland apart from the paratype, and it is possible that the paratype is mislabeled or was accidentally imported into the country. Linsenmaier (1951) also described Chrysis ignita var. sublongula, which he later classified as a subspecies of C. longula (Linsenmaier 1959). The distribution area of sublongula consists of Europe and Japan (Linsenmaier 1959, Rosa 2006). Morphologically sublongula resembles the nominotypical subspecies, but is smaller sized. According to unpublished studies of mitochondrial DNA, northern European samples of sublongula and longula most likely belong to the same species, as they do not differ genetically from each other (Soon et al. 2014). Because the distribution area of sublongula is sympatric with the nominotypical subspecies, it should not be considered as a separate subspecies, but at most as a form (f.) of C. longula. Several small specimens of C. longula, determined as sublongula by Linsenmaier, can be found from Nordic collections.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A860FFE0BAFAF956FB4CEAF0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is known from all the Nordic and Baltic countries, but it is usually uncommon and found in low numbers. The northernmost records are from northern Sweden. In Finland it has declined and has been classified as near threatened (Paukkunen 2010). Soon (2004: 46) reported C. pseudobrevitarsis from Norway and Denmark, but later the record from Norway proved to be erroneous. However, one specimen was recently found from southern Norway (Farsund) and the determination was confirmed by DNA barcoding. Records from Denmark are based on two specimens in ZMUC, which were collected from Bornholm and Zealand (see data above). According to mitochondrial DNA studies, the species is divided into two genetically distinct lineages, both of which have been found from the Nordic and Baltic countries (Soon et al. 2014). The other lineage is closer to C. brevitarsis, making C. pseudobrevitarsis paraphyletic, and therefore the lineages could represent different species. The morphological differences and nomenclature of these two lineages remain to be determined.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A861FFE0BAFAFCD4FBE0EF5A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This taxon is closely related to C. solida, from which it is often difficult to distinguish morphologically, and many authors have considered them as conspecific (C. mediata sensu lato). According to identification keys, e. g. Smissen (2010 a), C. mediata is larger and has a broader body. However, the main difference between the species is in their biology: C. mediata parasitizes ground nesting Odynerus species (mainly O. spinipes), while C. solida uses above ground nesting eumenines, probably mainly Ancistrocerus trifasciatus, as its host. DNA-barcoding studies have revealed no clear differences between the two species (Soon et al. 2014). It is thus possible that they in fact represent only intraspecific variation in size and host selection within a single species. In the studied area, C. mediata has a more southern distribution and is significantly scarcer than C. solida. Rosa & Soon (2012) reported the species from Sweden based on six Swedish specimens preserved in Linsenmaier’s collection in NMLS and determined by Linsenmaier. The specimens have been collected from the provinces Scania, Uppland and Värmland. The determinations of the northern specimens should be checked, but the specimens from Scania are most likely correctly identified. Several records of the species have been made in recent years in southern Sweden. In the Baltic states the species is relatively rare, but widespread. The occurrence of C. mediata in Denmark, Norway, Finland and Russian Fennoscandia is uncertain. It was reported from Denmark by Allearter. dk (2010), but the species was treated in the broad sense (including C. solida) (K. Runge Poulsen, in litt.). Also published records from Norway (Artsdatabanken 2010, Ødegaard et al. 2011: 64) present the species in the broad sense. Paukkunen et al. (2009: 6) reported the species from Finland based on two old Finnish specimens (collected from Ab: Karjalohja and N: Kirkkonummi), which are large enough to qualify as C. mediata. Two other specimens collected from Russian Fennoscandia (Ik: Valkjärvi) were also found in the collections of MZH. However, nothing is known of the habitats (or host species) from which they were collected. It cannot be ruled out that they actually represent abnormally large individuals of C. solida.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A86EFFEFBAFAFF5CFA00EE05.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This taxon is closely related with C. mediata, as discussed above, and the status of these two taxa is somewhat uncertain. Despite clear differences in their biology and host selection, they are similar genetically and morphologically. As many authors have considered C. solida to be synonymous with C. mediata, published records of C. mediata may mean either species. We have placed these records mostly under C. solida, because it is significantly the more common of the two species in the studied area. Soon (2004) reported C. solida from Denmark based on 46 Danish specimens deposited in ZMUC, which were determined as C. mediata fenniensis by Linsenmaier. Erkki Valkeila (1971) described the species C. scintillans based on Finnish, Russian and Swedish specimens. According to the description, it strongly resembles C. mediata fenniensis (= C. solida), but has some small differences, such as stronger and sparser punctation on the second and third tergite. In addition to the holotype, 76 paratypes were listed in the description. We have been able to study the holotype and 75 of the paratypes. In our opinion, the holotype and 33 paratypes belong to C. solida. The holotype is a typical female of this species with somewhat stronger punctation on the second tergite (Fig. 8). The rest of the paratypes belong to C. schencki (36 exx.), C. ignita group (2 exx.), C. impressa (2 exx.), C. angustula (1 ex.) and C. subcoriacea (1 ex.). Obviously Valkeila determined species of the Chrysis ignita group mainly relying on the differences in the punctation and shape of the abdomen, and did not consider e. g. the thickness of the mandibles or breadth of the ovipositor as sufficiently important. However, the shape of the abdomen and density of the tergal punctures can vary considerably within species of the C. ignita group, and C. solida is no exception. The synonymy of C. solida and C. scintillans was already stated by Soon (2004) in his MSc thesis, but as this work cannot be regarded as published for the purposes of zoological nomenclature (ICZN 1999, articles 8 and 9), the synonymy is here presented as new.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The northernmost records are from Finnish Lapland (Li: Utsjoki) and Murmansk Oblast (Lps: Pasvik Nature Reserve, Humala & Polevoi 2011). As many other species of the C. ignita group, C. schencki was not separated from C. ignita until the late 1950 s, when it was described by Linsenmaier as a subspecies of C. ignita. In the study of Estonian Chrysididae by Soon (2004) C. schencki was confused with C. corusca. Further studies, including a study of type specimens of both species, have revealed that both species occur in Estonia. Studies of mitochondrial DNA have shown that C. schencki significantly differs genetically from other closely related species of the Chrysis ignita complex (Soon et al. 2014). However, morphologically the males in particular can be very difficult to determine. Females are usually relatively well distinguished by their thin mandibles (Smissen 2010). According to recent DNA barcode analyses, C. schencki can be divided into two distinct genetic lineages in northern Europe (Soon et al. 2014). Preliminary studies suggest that there could be also slight morphological differences between the lineages.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A86FFFEDBAFAFAEEFCA3EC35.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959) divided Chrysis ignita into two forms, Form A and Form B, according to differences in their morphology and phenology. Recent morphological and molecular studies have shown that these two forms represent different species with different hosts (Smissen 2010, Soon & Saarma 2011). As Linsenmaier (1959) pointed out, the lectotype (male) of C. ignita in Linnaeus’ collection belongs to Form B. The valid name of Form A is C. terminata Dahlbom, 1854 (see below). Both species occur in the study area. Almost all published records of Chrysis ignita from the Nordic and Baltic countries represent the species in the broad sense (C. ignita sensu lato), and it is impossible to know which species of the C. ignita group (excl. C. fulgida, C. iris, and usually also C. ruddii) were meant. Even in recent publications and databases (e. g. Artsdatabanken 2010, Rosa & Soon 2012, Dyntaxa 2013) C. ignita and C. terminata have not been separated. Thus correct information on the distribution of C. ignita sensu stricto is possible to obtain only by checking the determinations of specimens in collections. DNA barcoding is also required, because species of the C. ignita group, especially males are often difficult to identify on the basis of morphology alone (Soon et al. 2014). So far only preliminary information on the distribution and abundance of C. ignita in the Nordic and Baltic countries can be presented. Its presence has been confirmed in all countries by checking museum and private collections. A thorough study of East Fennoscandian collections has shown that the species has had a wide distribution in Finland and Russian Fennoscandia during the early 20 th century, but has thereafter become very rare and local in both regions. The situation seems to be similar in Sweden (Smissen 2010 c). In Norway, Denmark, Estonia and Latvia, the current situation of C. ignita is poorly known. Orlovskytė et al. (2010) reported 13 locations for C. ignita from Lithuania and many records from recent years. One Norwegian specimen (collected from STI: Trondheim Lade 2013), one Finnish specimen (collected from Ka: Virolahti 2005) and a few Lithuanian specimens, which were originally identified as Chrysis ignita (sensu stricto) according to morphological characters, have turned out to differ significantly from other North European C. ignita specimens on the basis of their mitochondrial DNA sequences. According to Soon et al. (2014) these specimens probably represent a cryptic species (“ Chrysis sp. 1 ”), whereas another cryptic species (“ Chrysis sp. 2 ”) is known from central Europe. So far, it is not known whether the lectotype of C. ignita represents C. ignita sensu stricto, as treated here, or either of these two cryptic species.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A86DFFECBAFAFF5CFA86ECAA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Many specimens of this taxon were determined by W. Linsenmaier and E. Valkeila as C. mediadentata Linsenmaier, 1951 in various collections. On the basis of these determinations, e. g. Erlandsson (1971) and Vikberg (1986 b) also mention C. mediadentata from Sweden and Finland, respectively. The species was also reported from Norway in Artsdatabanken (2010). However, C. mediadentata is a central European species, with a broad ovipositor in females, and not found in the Nordic countries. The valid name of this taxon, which is very closely related to C. impressa and C. ignita, is not currently known. A working name “ borealis ” has been proposed, indicating the wide boreal distribution area that it seems to have. The name was published by Johansson (2013 b) without a description, reference or indication of the species and therefore it must be considered as a nomen nudum. The females of Chrysis sp. are usually distinguishable morphologically from other closely related species, for example by their dark colouration, but the males cannot always be determined with certainty. According to analyses of mitochondrial DNA, the taxon seems to form a genetic lineage close to C. impressa and C. ignita (Soon et al. 2014). However, in order to reliably assess the status of this taxon, additional morphological and genetic studies are required. So far, the occurrence of Chrysis sp. has been confirmed in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russian Fennoscandia by studying collections and / or analyzing DNA barcode sequences of specimens.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A86DFFEBBAFAFB12FC12E940.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959) divided Chrysis ignita into two forms (Form A and B), which were morphologically slightly different and which also exhibited differences in host specialization and flight periods. Despite evidence supporting the distinct status of both forms, they have only recently been treated as separate species (Niehuis 2001, Smissen 2010 a, Soon & Saarma 2011). C. ignita Form A lacked a proper name, since specialists of cuckoo wasps avoided generating new names due to the already confusing taxonomy of this species group. Examining the holotype of C. terminata Dahlbom, 1854 revealed that it is a male specimen of Linsenmaier’s C. ignita Form A. C. terminata was described on the basis of a unique specimen that had an unusual frontal carina and colouration. It is evident that the unusual colouration of this specimen is either an aberration or the result of unsuitable storage or handling of the specimen, while the shape of the frontal carina is typical for males of C. ignita Form A. Therefore we propose that C. terminata is the valid name of C. ignita Form A and use it as such in this study. Of the two species C. terminata seems to be predominant in Scandinavia, while C. ignita might be a more eastern species in North Europe. In Norway, C. terminata is relatively abundant, and also in Sweden it is much more common than C. ignita (Smissen 2010 c). Orlovskytė et al. (2010) listed 15 localities for C. terminata from Lithuania. The species has not been found from Denmark, Estonia, Finland or Russian Fennoscandia, despite extensive examination of collection material.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A86AFFEBBAFAFC0FFAE6EF26.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species has often been mixed or synonymized with Chrysis zetterstedti, and records in older literature can be difficult or impossible to assign to either species. Because C. equestris is the more common of the two species in the Nordic and Baltic countries, the old literature references which could refer to either species are listed here under C. equestris. In Sweden, C. equestris is relatively widespread, and the northernmost records are from as far north as Överkalix in Norrbotten province. In Finland it is very rare and classified as regionally extinct in the national red list (Paukkunen 2010). However, it was rediscovered in 2011 after an absence of 50 years, in the southeast part of the country. In Norway, C. equestris has been confused with C. zetterstedti, and it has not been previously reported from that country and is considered data deficient there (Hansen et al. 2010, as C. fasciata).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The specimen has been checked at LMSZ in Riga. The closest records are from Belarus (Shljachtenok 2006). Haupt (1957: 118) reported C. sexdentata from southern Sweden, but this record is most likely erroneous. The record of Dahlbom (1831) of C. sexdentata (nec Christ, 1791) from Westrogothia (= Västergötland) in Sweden refers to C. equestris or C. zetterstedti, which were not yet described at that time. Dahlbom’s record of C. sexdentata was also mentioned by Zetterstedt (1840).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A86AFFEABAFAF89EFA90EE06.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is known from Sweden and the Baltic countries. It is rare in all countries, and it has been classified as vulnerable in Sweden (Cederberg et al. 2010). Records from Norway are uncertain. Dahlbom (1845) described the species on the basis of specimens collected from Norway and Sweden. According to Dahlbom (1845, 1854) the Norwegian syntype specimen was collected from Christiania (= Oslo) in July 1844 by N. Moe. However, the labels of Moe have proven to be unreliable, and much of his material include a mix of Norwegian and foreign specimens (Munster 1923: 267 – 268, Ødegaard & Ligaard 2000: 13). Therefore the origin of the Norwegian syntype specimen is uncertain, as are all published records from Norway based on Dahlbom’s publications (Mocsáry 1889: 541, Siebke 1880: 75, Strand 1898: 97, Frey 1915: 43, Trautmann 1927: 182, 1930: 508 (as C. fasciata), Balthasar 1954: 237 (as C. fasciata), Haupt 1957: 96 (as C. fasciata), Rosa & Soon 2012 (as C. fasciata zetterstedti )). The species was reported from central Finland (Sa: Juva) on the basis of an uncertain record by Forsius (1925: 183, as Hexachrysis zetterstedti) and later also Rosa & Soon (2012) listed the species from the country. However, as pointed out by Vikberg (1986 a: 62), the record is unreliable and the species should not be included in the Finnish fauna. Linsenmaier (1959) classified zetterstedti as a subspecies of C. fasciata, and reported it from Fennoscandia, Russia and Siberia, while the nominotypical form was stated to occur in central and southern Europe and North Africa. A third subspecies (or form), daphne Smith, 1874, is known from Japan and the Far East. Unpublished molecular studies suggest that zetterstedti and daphne together probably represent a different species in relation to fasciata. Also morphologically they have differences which support their separation. Therefore we have considered zetterstedti as a distinct species. Rosa & Soon (2012) reported C. fasciata erroneously from the Baltic countries as C. fasciata fasciata. The closest records of C. fasciata are from Poland.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A86AFFEABAFAF89EFA90EE06.taxon	materials_examined	From Dahlbom’s (1845: 11) description of C. zetterstedti (“ Chrysis Zetterstedti nob. ♂ ♀. Svecia nob.; Norrveg. N. Moë ”) it can be interpreted that there were at least two Swedish specimens (one male and one female) and one Norwegian specimen (collected by N. Moe) upon which the description was based. In Dahlbom’s collection in Lund (ZMUL) there are two male specimens under the name C. zetterstedti, which are probable syntypes. One specimen bears the labels “ Laxbro 7.5.40. ”, “ Chr. Zetterstedti ” [Dahlbom's handwriting], and an additional red lable “ Typ ” was added during the mid 20 th century by a former curator (Fig. 9). The second specimen bears a label with “ Moe 44 ” and it also has a square red label. As noted earlier, it is uncertain whether this specimen was originally collected from Norway. Both specimens fit with the current interpretation of the species, and therefore we here designate the Swedish specimen from Laxbro as the lectotype of C. zetterstedti.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A868FFE8BAFAF9FFFEE0E91D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In the studied area, C. austriaca has been found from only three localities in Lithuania (Puvočiai, Trakai, Vilnius) (Orlovskytė et al. 2010). Billberg (1820: 104) reported the species from Sweden and later also Trautmann (1927: 113), Berland & Bernard (1938: 83), Benno (1950: 44), Balthasar (1954: 176), Haupt (1957: 77), Noskiewicz & Pulawski (1958: 40) and Banaszak (1980: 23) mentioned the species from the country. We have considered these records doubtful, as we have not seen any Swedish specimens in collections. Most of the Swedish records probably originate from Dahlbom’s publications (1829: 14 and 1831: 31), where Chrysis austriaca (sensu Dahlbom) was reported from southern Sweden. Later Dahlbom (1854: 134) noticed his mistake and corrected the species to Chrysis integrella, which is currently known as Pseudospinolia neglecta. The closest records of C. austriaca outside the Nordic and Baltic countries are from northern Germany, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Jakobs & Kornmilch 2007).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A868FFE9BAFAFD2EFD8BEDBD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dahlbom described the genus Chrysura in 1845 with ten species: C. unicolor, C. confluens, C. foveata, C. humboldti, C. bicolor, C. sulcata, C. austriaca, C. candens, C. nitidula and C. coeruleipes. Bodenstein (1939: 133) later designated Chrysis austriaca Fabricius as the type species of the genus. As noted by Vikberg (1986 a: 61) and based on Erkki Valkeila’s unpublished manuscript, Bodenstein’s designation of the types species is incorrect, as Chrysis austriaca Fabricius, 1804 is not the same as C. austriaca sensu Dahlbom (1829, 1831, 1845), which is Chrysis neglecta Shuckard, 1837 (Dahlbom 1854: 134; Mocsáry, 1889: 255; Dalla Torre 1892: 80, Balthasar 1954: 143). Linsenmaier (1951) placed C. neglecta in the genus Euchroeus, subgenus Pseudospinolia Linsenmaier. Later Pseudospinolia was raised to generic level by Bohart & Kimsey (1980). If C. austriaca Dahlbom were to be chosen as the type species, the name Chrysura would be the first available name for the genus Pseudospinolia Linsenmaier and Monochrysis Lichtenstein, 1876 would become the first available name for Chrysura sensu auctorum. However, the current usage of the name C. austriaca (e. g. Morgan 1984, Kimsey & Bohart 1991, Rosa 2006) favours the nominal species named in the fixation (C. austriaca Fabricius). Consequently we observe that stability of nomenclature is maintained by the current and correct interpretation of the taxon C. austriaca Fabricius, which is not in contrast with the interpretation of the genus given by Dahlbom. We therefore consider no need for designation of a new type species.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A869FFE8BAFAFE5FFC64EE4A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dahlbom (1845) reported this species first from Sweden with the name Chrysura nitidula. He attributed the authorship of the species to Spinola (" Chr. nitidula Spin. "), but Spinola did not mention any species with this name in his work Insectorum Liguriae (1806). Later Dahlbom (1854) mentioned in the description of Chrysis gyllenhali that he had used the name " Chr. nitidula Grmr. " for this species. The taxon Chrysis nitidula Germar, 1817 is, however, currently known as C. germari Wesmael, 1839. As it is obvious that Dahlbom's species Chrysura nitidula is the same as C. gyllenhali, which is a synonym of C. dichroa, and the description is valid (not Chrysis nitidula Fabricius, 1775 nor C. nitidula Germar, 1817), Chrysura nitidula Dahlbom is the oldest name for C. dichroa. However, as it can be regarded as a homonym and it has not been used as a valid name within the scientific community since 1899, it is rejected and considered as a nomen oblitum (ICZN 1999, article 23.9.). According to Dahlbom (1854) one specimen of this species was collected from Westrogothia (= Västergötland) by L. Gyllenhaal. The specimen, which is the holotype of Chrysura nitidula Dahlbom, 1845 and Chrysis gyllenhali Dahlbom, 1854, is preserved in Dahlbom’s collection in Lund. Later Thomson (1870), Mocsáry (1889) and Aurivillius (1911) reported the species from Sweden based on Dahlbom’s publication. Erlandsson (1971) and Soon (2004) listed the species from Sweden as Chrysis / Chrysura dichroa, following Trautmann’s (1927) synonymization of gyllenhali with dichroa. Kimsey & Bohart (1991) considered gyllenhali as a separate species, but we have followed the interpretation of Trautmann, because we could not find any valid morphological character to separate the holotype from C. dichroa. C. dichroa was removed from the Swedish fauna in Dyntaxa (2013), as Dahlbom’s record was considered doubtful and no other specimens were known from Sweden. However, the species might have occurred in southern Sweden in the mid 19 th century and possibly later gone extinct. The mason bee Osmia aurulenta, which probably is the main host of the species in central Europe, is still found in many places in southern Sweden. The closest records of C. dichroa from outside the Nordic and Baltic countries are from central Germany (Kroupa et al. 2012), southern Poland (Galicia) (Banaszak 1980) and Belarus (Shljachtenok 2006).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A869FFF7BAFAF90AFE71EBDF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species has been reported from all countries of the studied area, except Denmark. However, the record from Latvia (Rosa & Soon 2004) is doubtful. The record of “ Chrysis regia ” (= Hedychrum nobile) from Kurland (= Courland = western Latvia) by Kawall (1855: 261) might actually concern this species, because Osmia nigriventris was observed as its host. The mason bee O. nigriventris is one of the main hosts of C. hirsuta in the Nordic and Baltic countries (see e. g. Trautmann 1927), and it is not known as a host of Hedychrum. No specimens of C. hirsuta have been found in LMSZ in Riga. In the Nordic literature, C. hirsuta was separated from C. radians only in the 1870 s, and therefore older records of C. radians (= C. bicolor) can represent either species. As the distribution of C. radians is restricted in Fennoscandia to southern Sweden and Norway, old records of C. radians (= C. bicolor) from Finland (Dahlbom 1829, Woldstedt 1875), Russian Fennoscandia (Woldstedt 1875), Swedish (?) Lapland (Dahlbom 1854) and Levangerfjord in Norway (Dahlbom 1854), most likely represent C. hirsuta. Siebke (1880) and Strand (1898) reported C. bicolor from Norway probably based on Dahlbom’s record from Levangerfjord, so these records should also refer to C. hirsuta.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A876FFF6BAFAFBC4FDBAE8F8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is known from all Nordic and Baltic countries except Finland, and it is not known from Russian Fennoscandia either. In Norway, the species has been classified as data deficient (Hansen et al. 2010). A possible record from central Finland (Sb: Juva) was mentioned by Forsius (1925: 183, as Holochrysis pustulosa), but the record could not been verified. Silfverberg (1981: 61) included the species in the Finnish fauna erroneously (as Chrysis pustulosa), as pointed out by Vikberg (1986 a: 61). The species was also reported from Russian Fennoscandia (Kon: Kizhi archipelago) by Polevoi et al. (2005: 111, as Chrysis pustulosa), but this record was based on a misidentified specimen of C. hirsuta (specimen checked). Chrysura radians is a southern species in Sweden and Norway, and in Estonia it has been found only from the west coast (Soon 2004). The records from Lapland (Trautmann 1927: 111, Benno 1950: 45, Haupt 1957: 77, as C. pustulosa) and the Arctic (Trautmann 1930: 501, as C. pustulosa) are most likely erroneous. As noted earlier, Chrysura hirsuta has been separated from C. radians in the Nordic literature from the 1870 s onwards, and thus earlier records of C. radians can include either species. Dahlbom’s early records (1829, 1831 and 1854) of C. bicolor (= C. radians) from southern Sweden represent with certainty (based on type specimens) C. radians, but possibly also C. hirsuta. The northern records most likely refer to C. hirsuta, as the distribution of C. radians is restricted to the south.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

Currently several localities are known from Öland, and in 2013 it was also recorded from Gotland. C. trimaculata was classified as vulnerable in the Swedish red lists of 2000 and 2005 (Cederberg 2000, 2005), but later it was removed from the list due to the apparently stable population in Öland (Cederberg et al. 2010).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A877FFF5BAFAF9C6FF61E9AD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species has been reported from all Nordic and Baltic countries, but all records have turned out to refer to C. pallipes. Móczár (2001: 926) reported C. semiauratus from Denmark in his revision based on Danish specimens deposited in ZMUC in Copenhagen. We have checked these specimens, and they all belong to C. pallipes. Tumšs (1976: 23) reported both C. pallipes and C. semiauratus from Latvia. However, the record of C. semiauratus was based on Kawall’s (1864: 303) old publication, in which the species was apparently treated sensu Dahlbom (1854), i. e. as a senior synonym of C. pallipes. Kawall (1866 b: 156) also reported “ Cleptes auratus L. ” from Latvia, but the identity of this taxon is unclear. One specimen named as C. semiauratus was found in the collection of LMSZ in Riga, but it also belonged to C. pallipes. Cleptes semiauratus was described by Linnaeus (1761) from Scania, southern Sweden, and a lectotype was designated by Day (1979). Apparently, Kimsey later incorrectly designated another lectotype from Paris (Kimsey & Bohart 1991). However, this lectotype has not been found in the Parisian collections, where it should have been deposited. The correct lectotype in Linnaeus’ collection is morphologically similar to C. pallipes, with e. g. completely yellowish brown tibiae. This colouration was also mentioned in the original description (“ Tibiae ferruginae ”). Additionally the type locality (Scania) seems to be outside the distribution area of C. semiauratus sensu Móczár. Thus it is possible that the type of C. semiauratus is actually conspecific with C. pallipes, and the name pallipes a junior synonym of semiauratus. In this case, the name of C. semiauratus sensu Móczár should be changed.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

The species is very rare in Lithuania, although its host, Bembix rostrata, is still relatively widely distributed. P. grandior has been also found close to the border of Fennoscandia in Pargolovo, near St. Petersburg, in July 1879 (Semenov 1912: 179).

This species was reported from Sweden in Dyntaxa (2013) and from Latvia by Tumšs & Maršakovs (1970: 90, as Notozus sanzii), Soon (2004: 44) and Rosa & Soon (2012, as doubtful). The single Swedish specimen was recently found to be misidentified and represent E. foveatus. According to Tumšs & Maršakovs (1970), two specimens were found in Latvia (one female from Staldzene and one male from Staicele). However, no specimens determined as E. sanzii have been found in Tumšs’ and Maršakovs’ collections in Riga. One exceptionally green specimen of E. panzeri, which had the same data as E. sanzii in Tumšs & Maršakovs' publication, was found among specimens of E. panzeri, and it probably represents the other Latvian specimen. Because E. sanzii is a southern species in Europe, the Latvian records are doubtful and most likely erroneous.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A874FFF5BAFAFB22FC9AEEEF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species has been confused with Elampus constrictus in older literature. Sahlberg (1910: 99) and Hellén (1920: 206) reported the species from Finland and Russian Fennoscandia, and Borries (1891: 92) reported it from Denmark (as Notozus productus). It was at first reported from Sweden by Thomson (1870: 103, as E. productus), after which it was mentioned by Mocsáry (1889: 68, as Ellampus spina), Aurivillius (1911: 6) and Jansson (1922: 33, as Notozus spina; 1934: 287, as Notozus panzeri var. spina). All Finnish and Russian Fennoscandian specimens have been checked and found to belong to E. constrictus. It is most likely that also all the Danish and Swedish published records refer to E. constrictus. Rosa & Soon (2012) reported E. spina from Sweden based on an old Swedish specimen deposited in NRM. The specimen was later found to represent a large individual of E. foveatus. Apparently E. spina is a predominantly South European and West Asian species, with some scattered records from central Europe (Banaszak 1980).	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

443187C9A874FFF4BAFAF8D5FE5CE9AD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dahlbom (1954: 53) considered H. amoenula to be a variety (var. d) of the newly described species H. ovata (= H. generosa Förster), with no regard to the principle of priority, not yet applied at that time. Later Mocsáry (1889: 127) treated H. ovata as a junior synonym of H. amoenula and several authors erroneously followed his interpretation. From the Nordic and Baltic countries amoenula was reported either as a distinct species (Bischoff 1910: 440, Sahlberg 1910: 98 (as Elampus amoenus), Aurivillius 1911: 7, Tumšs 1976: 22) or as a variation of Holopyga gloriosa (Jansson 1922: 33, Jansson 1934: 287, Hellén 1935: 8, Fahlander 1954: 254). The name gloriosa has been suppressed by the Commission on the Iczn (ICZN 1998). Only after Linsenmaier's revision of the European species (1959), H. amoenula was correctly identified and recognized as a separated and valid taxon endemic to Rhodes Island.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).

As noted by Vikberg (1986 a: 62), the species was added erroneously to the Finnish fauna by Silfverberg (1981: 61), who referred to Hellén (1920). In his review of the Finnish chrysidids Hellén (1920: 212) gave a short description of C. succincta ab. gribodoi Ab., though no locality was given. Later (1935: 8) he mentioned “ ab. gribodoi ” in the Finnish checklist of aculeate Hymenoptera. Chrysis gribodoi is a South European species, and it is obvious that the taxon has not been found in Finland.	en	Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas, Ødegaard, Frode (2014): Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae).
