Note: I have not been able to trace the publication that originally
proposes the synonymy of "pictipes" and "albipes", but this synonymy is
listed by many authors and I agree with it. The original descriptions
of both taxa read very similar. Both names have been published in 1912,
but "pictipes" was published on September 7, 1912, while "albipes" was
published on October 20, 1912. Thus, "pictipes" is the senior synonym.
Identification
Distribution
Recorded from Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia, Moldavia, and the
former Yugoslavia, and Sweden. Also recorded from Canada. I know of no
German record, but the species is very similar to Neochrysocharis
nunbergi and thus many European records of the latter may in fact refer
to N. albipes. I suggest that all future records of N. nunbergi from
Germany should be closely checked for possible confusion with N.
albipes.
