(lapsus) This species shows strong geographical variation and Askew (2001) suggest that it is in fact a complex of closely related species. These authors name several populations that are clearly different from typical Neochrysocharis formosa: the British, Andorran, and Canarian populations. In addition, the taxon Neochrysocharis trifolii Erdös, 1961, that has been regarded a synonym of Neochrysocharis formosa, is regarded as a separate species by Askew (2001) and Askew et al. (2001) and I accept this view here. Specimens of this species from the southeast Asian range differ from the European specimens. They have dark coxae (instead of whitish or yellow in European specimens) and pale scape (insetad of mainly dark scape in European specimens) (Fisher and La Salle (2005)). These authors suggest that the Asian specimens might be a separate species. Note: I do not adopt the synonymy of Neochrysocharis and Closterocerus; see Neochrysocharis albiscapus for details.
