Abstract: Chrysis klio Balthasar, 1953 (Fig. 20A–F) Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) klio Balthasar, 1953:257. Holotype ♂; Palestine: Jerusalem [not holotype ♀ from Afghanistan, Schau, Kokscha-Tal, Badakschar Mts.] (Prague) (varidens group). Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) klio Balthasar, 1953 = Chrysis varidens Abeille de Perrin, 1878:6; Kimsey & Bohart, 1991:474. Chrysis klio: Boustani & Rosa, 2022:16. Reinstated. Material examined. 1♀, Qazvin, Zereshk, 36°25'23''N, 50°06'37''E, 27.vii.2011, leg. M. Khayrandish (TMUC). Distribution. * Iran (Qazvin). Caucasus (Rosa et al., 2013). Remarks. The species photograph (Fig. 20) shows a green and blue colour pattern instead of red and blue of the type and other specimens recently collected in nature (Boustani & Rosa, 2022). This green colouration is considered to be given by an alteration of the cuticle due to the collecting method in the Malaise trap and the preservation in ethanol.
