Genus & species Cleptes splendidus (Fabricius, 1794)
Species group semiauratus
Original combination Ichneumon splendidus Fabricius, 1794
Type series Holotypus, ♂ (Mus.: Copenhagen)
Original description Ichneumon cyaneus nitidus abdomine basi fulvo apice nigro.
Habitat in Italia Dr. Allioni.
Statura praecedentium. Caput cyaneum, nitidum antennis nigris. Thorax cyaneus, immaculatus. Abdomen basi fulvum, apice nigrum. Pedes nigri.
Synonyms and subspecies Ichneumon splendens Fabricius, 1798: 229 (♂).
Cleptes splendens: Wesmael, 1839: 169 (synonym of semiauratus Linnaeus, 1761); Kimsey and Bohart, 1990: 64 (= semiauratus L.; invalid emendation of splendidus Fabricius, 1794).
Cleptes consimilis Buysson, 1887: 198 (2 ♂). Lectotypus (♂) (desig. Móczár , 1997, 35): France: Vernet (Paris).
Cleptes Chyzeri Mocsáry, 1889: 50, ♀. Lectotypus (desig. Móczár 1962: 119); Szolloske (Budapest).
Cleptes caucasicus Semenov, 1920: 322, 3 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀. Lectotypus ♀; Georgia (St. Petersburg).
Cleptes hyrcanus Semenov, 1920: 322, 1 ♂. Holotypus ♂; Iran: Astrabad (according to Kimsey & Bohart, 1990: 60) (St. Petersburg).
Systematic notes The interpretation given by Linsenmaier to the species names of this Genus is different from Móczár's one. We follow Móczár's one, that is:
C. pallipes = C. semiauratus sensu Linsenmaier;
C. semiauratus = C. splendens sensu Linsenmaier;
C. splendidus = C. consimilis sensu Linsenmaier (1959a) and C. chevrieri sensu Linsenmaier (1997).

C. splendens is synonym of semiauratus (L.) in Kimsey & Bohart (1990).
C. splendens and consimilis are synonyms of C. splendidus according to Strumia, 2001.
