Summary: | 44. Chrysis indigotea Dufour & Perris, 1840 Chrysis indigotea Dufour & Perris 1840: 38. Syntypes; France (MNHN) (examined). Dahlbom 1854: 208, Mocsáry 1889: 346, Trautmann 1927: 142, Balthasar 1954: 198, Haupt 1957: 96, Noskiewicz & Pulawski 1958: 45, Vikberg 1986a: 62, Rosa & Soon 2012. Distribution. Sweden.—Westpalearctic: central and southern Europe, North Africa, Asia Minor (Linsenmaier 1959). 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 (1986a), 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.
