Description
Summary:Abia brevicornis Leach, 1817 nom. rev. Abia brevicornis Leach, 1817: 114. Sex not stated [but probably female, because conspicuous dark dorsal patches on abdomen are not mentioned]. Syntypes (assumed). Type locality: not stated. Type material probably lost or destroyed. Cimbex splendida Klug, 1820 [incorrect original spelling]: 98-99. ♀, ♂. Syntypes. Type locality: Germany; rare in this area [around Berlin]. Syntype ♂ [examined]: “GBIF-GISHym2903”, “13567”, “Germania”, "nitens L. Soldanski det.". ZMHB. Abia rossica Semenov, 1896: 159, 167-168. ♀. Holotype [not examined]. Type locality: Ukraine, Kamjanez-Podilskyj. Abia nitens auct. nec Linnaeus. Misidentification of Tenthredo nitens by, for example: de Dalla Torre (1894), Konow (1905b), Taeger (1998), Liston and Späth (2006). Notes. Taeger et al. (2010) also listed Abia nitens var. vernetensis Pic, 1928 (type locality: France, Allier) as a junior synonym of Abia nitens auct. However, no type specimen has been examined subsequent to its description, as far as we are aware. Pic wrote [translated from French] "differs from the typical form in the black-marked base of the posterior femora". This suggests that it possibly does not belong to A. brevicornis.
