Systematic notes	With regards of pumila Klug, 1845 we agree with Linsenmaier (1959) but not with Linsenmaier (1987). About the confusion among the names of persica, pumila, pumilionis and disclusa please refer to Niehuis (2001) and Rosa (2006). Thus, the valid species are three: - Chrysidea asensioi Mingo, 1985 - Chrysidea persica (Radoszkowski, 1881) - Chrysidea pumila Klug, 1845.
