41. Chrysis pulcherrima Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1806

Chrysis pulcherrima Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau 1806: 127 . Holotype ♂; France (MNHN).

Material examined: * Denmark: LFM: Strandby, 2.VIII.1919, 1 ♀ (L. Jørgensen) .

Distribution. * Denmark.—Westpalearctic: South Europe (Linsenmaier 1959).

Remarks. One female specimen of this species, collected by L. Jørgensen from Strandby eastern Lolland in 1919, is deposited in ZMUC in Copenhagen. The closest records of the species are from France, Hungary and Spain (Rosa & Soon 2012). The species is quite similar to C. viridula and it could be overlooked in regions adjacent to Denmark. On the other hand, the Danish specimen could be mislabeled or accidentally introduced to the country. We are not aware of mistakes in the labels of L. Jørgensen.
