discussion
Remarks. This species has often been mixed or synonymized with Chrysis zetterstedti, and records in older literature can be difficult or impossible to assign to either species. Because C. equestris is the more common of the two species in the Nordic and Baltic countries, the old literature references which could refer to either species are listed here under C. equestris. In Sweden, C. equestris is relatively widespread, and the northernmost records are from as far north as Överkalix in Norrbotten province. In Finland it is very rare and classified as regionally extinct in the national red list (Paukkunen 2010). However, it was rediscovered in 2011 after an absence of 50 years, in the southeast part of the country. In Norway, C. equestris has been confused with C. zetterstedti, and it has not been previously reported from that country and is considered data deficient there (Hansen et al. 2010, as C. fasciata).
