Original description

Synonymy of
Dichochrysa flavifrons flavifrons:
Chrysopa flavifrons Brauer, 1850
Dichochrysa

Dichochrysa flavifrons flavifrons (Brauer,

Mallada flavifrons (Brauer, 1850)

Chrysopa irenaea Navás, 1915
Chrysopa fiorina Navás, 1926
Chrysopa
corsica auct. nec Hagen, 1864 (see note below)
Note: The original description of Chrysopa
corsica from Corsica (France) suggests that it
is a species of the genus Rexa (see Aspöck
et al. (2001)). However, the type specimens
appear to be confused: the specimens currently
labelled as "types" are specimens of Dichochrysa
flavifrons (see Aspöck et al. (2001). Thus,
the identity of Chrysopa corsica requires the
revision of the types.
Note: Navás described a number of
doubtful species from northern Africa. These
names cannot be assigned to species and thus are
nomina dubia. According to the descriptions the
following names probably refer to Dichochrysa
flavifrons: Chrysopa selenia Navás, 1912, Chrysopa ifranina Navás, 1935, Chrysopa irrorella Navás, 1935 (see Aspöck et
al. (2001)). However, if this is correct, these
names must refer to the African subspecies,
Dichochrysa flavifrons nigropunctata, and are
therefore not included in the synonymy of the
nominate subspecies above.
