Treatment

Chrysis ( Tetrachrysis) taurica Mocsáry, 1889:345 . Holotype ♀; Ukraine: Crimea (Kraków) ( varidens-ragusae group). Chrysis taurica : Falahatpisheh et al., 2021:31 (Fars).

Distribution. Iran ( Fars). Crimea, Cyprus, Crete, South-European Russia, Türkiye ( Kimsey & Bohart, 1991; Özbek & Strumia, 2018).

Remarks. Strumia & Yıldırım (2009) treated Chrysis ragusae and C. taurica as separate species, which were later regarded as synonyms by Rosa et al. (2015d). The two taxa have different male genitalia according to Linsenmaier (1959a, figs. 264–265) yet recent findings of the first author do not support Linsenmaier’s interpretation of the species. C. ragusae was listed from East Anatolia and the Mediterranean region by Özbek & Strumia (2018). Species inquirenda.
