Rosa П. Роза Paolo Rosa, Via Belvedere 8/d, 20881 Bernareggio (MB), Italy. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The type material of two Chrysididae genera described by Yu. Tarbinsky from Central Asia was examined. New synonyms are proposed: Pseudochrysis Semenov, 1891 = Arnoldia Tarbinsky, 2004, syn. nov.; Spinolia Dahlbom, 1854 = Pseudochrysura Tarbinsky, 2004, syn. nov.; Pseudochrysis neglecta (Shuckard, 1837) = Arnoldia seraphimi Tarbinsky, 2004, syn. nov.; Spinolia rusalka (Semenov, 1901) = Pseudochrysura zonsteini Tarbinsky, 2004, syn. nov. Резюме. Изучены типовые материалы двух родов ос-блестянок, описанных Ю. Тарбинским из Средней Азии. Предлагается новая синонимия: Pseudochrysis Semenov, 1891 = Arnoldia Tarbinsky, 2004, syn. nov.; Spinolia Dahlbom, 1854 = Pseudochrysura Tarbinsky, 2004, syn. nov.; Pseudochrysis neglecta (Shuckard, 1837) = Arnoldia seraphimi Tarbinsky, 2004, syn. nov.; Spinolia rusalka (Semenov, 1901) = Pseudochrysura zonsteini Tarbinsky, 2004, syn. nov.

During a recent visit to the Institute of Biology as new 46 species and two genera, namely Arnoldia and Pedology of the National Academy of Sciences of Tarbinsky, 2004 and Pseudochrysura Tarbinsky, 2004 Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek), I examined Yu.S.
