discussion
Remarks. Hedychrum nobile is the most common species of its genus, and has been recorded in all the Nordic and Baltic countries. Records published prior to 1960 represent either H. nobile or the closely related species H. niemelai, which was described in 1959 by Linsenmaier. Hellén (1920) described “ ab. viridiventris ” from Finland, but replaced it with “ ab. lepeletieri ” in the Finnish checklist (Hellén 1935). This form differs from the typical form by having a greenish abdomen. The difference is not always distinct, and intermediate specimens are common. We do not recommend the use of these infrasubspecific names.
