Haris, A.: Hymenoptera Research in the Carpathian Basin 37 On some species described by Scopoli, Poda, Christ, Heer and Mocsáry from the Carpathian Basin According to the following paragraph of ICZN: 23.9.1.1. the senior synonym or homonym has not been used as a valid name after 1899, and 23.9.1.2. the junior synonym or homonym has been used for a particular taxon, as its presumed valid name, in at least 25 works, published by at least 10 authors in the immediately preceding 50 years and encompassing a span of not less than 10 years. 23.9.2. An author who discovers that both the conditions of 23.9.1 are met should cite the two names together and state explicitly that the younger name is valid, and that the action is taken in accordance with this Article; at the same time the author must give evidence that the conditions of Article 23.9.1.2 are met, and also state that, to his or her knowledge, the condition in Article 23.9.1.1 applies. From the date of publication of that act the younger name has precedence over the older name. When cited, the younger but valid name MAY be qualified by the term nomen protectum and the invalid, but older, name by the term nomen oblitum. In the case of subjective synonymy, whenever the names are not regarded as synonyms the older name MAY be used as valid. The following species are neither agricultural, horticultural insect pest, nor infectious agents or pathogens or disease spreading animals therefore, the corrections of their name don"t disturb the nomenclatural stability. Therefore to use or reject the proposed names, will be the matter of individual decision of our colleagues. Chrysis hungarica Scopoli, 1770 Chrysis leachii Schuckard, 1836 syn. n. The author express his grateful thanks to Zsolt Józan and Paolo Rosa for their help in correct identification of this species. Material examined: Félegyháza, 23-25. 07. 1957; Kőszeg, 07. 08. 1936; Rém, 30. 08. 1936; Sukoró, 13. 07. 1951; Bonyhád, 12. 08. 1941. Neotype: according to the point of ICZN 75.1. neotype is not designated, since there is no doubt in the taxonomic status of Chrysis hungarica Scopoli, 1770 therefore neotype designation is not necessary. See also the notes below. The Scopoli's collection was destroyed, see about this the Scopoli biography in this monograph and also Tóth (1989, 1994, 1996).
