ABSTRACT: A new subspecies of Parnopes grandior (Pallas, 1771) from Sardinia (Hymenoptera Chrysididae). Parnopes (s.str.) grandior linsenmaieri n.ssp. from Sardinia (Italia) is described, as a geographical subspecies. Like P. unicolor Grib. the n.ssp. hasn’t any metallic coloration on the gaster. Compared to typical form, linsenmaieri n.ssp. has another chromatic-morphologic differences, but not so considerable to establish a new species. Typical Parnopes grandior (Pall.) is not present on the isle, where endemic linsenmaieri n.ssp. takes the place of typical grandior. Bembix geneana Costa seems to be the probable host of linsenmaieri n.ssp.
Addendum
The Author plans to elevate the subspecies linsenmaieri to the species rank as a new statement.
