discussion
Remarks. Chrysis angustula is the most common cuckoo wasp species in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The northernmost records are from Finnish Lapland (Li: Inari). Old records in the literature of “ C. ignita ” probably often refer to this species. Linsenmaier (1959, 1997) used the name C. angustula gracilis for specimens with dense and fine punctation at the base of the second tergite. However, most authors have not considered gracilis to be a separate subspecies. In fact, the status of gracilis is uncertain, because the type material is lost (Niehuis 2000). In 2000, Niehuis described the subspecies C. angustula alpina based on its morphology and restricted distribution within the Alps. In northern Europe, only the nominotypical subspecies has been found.
