Chrysis singula Radoszkowski, 1891 ( Fig. 33A–F)

Chrysis singula Radoszkowski, 1891:187 . Syntypes ♀; Turkmenistan: Ashkabad (Berlin, Krakow) ( succincta group).

Material examined. 1♀, Tehran province: Ab Ali [= Abali], 9–10.vii.[19]65, leg. Giordani Soika & Mavromoustakis ( NMLU) .

Distribution. Iran ( Tehran). Caucasus, Central Asia, Russia (European part).

Remarks. The species listed in Rosa et al. (2013) was actually Chrysis grohmanni bolivari (see above), whereas the real Chrysis singula was located among the unidentified material and its identification was possible only after examination and comparison with the syntypes deposited in the Radoszkowski collection in Krakow and in Berlin. The Iranian specimen shows anyway some minor differences, such as the extremely large, confluent and shallow punctures on mesonotum that may suggest that this specimen belongs to another undescribed species. However, we could not find any other relevant diagnostic characters to separate it from the typical form, and we prefer to examine further material before taking any other action.
