1.4X as long as broad, a little longer than pedicel or F-II, slightly 
shorter than F-III (fig. 5); malar space 1.5 MOD, subantennal space 
1.7 MOD; TFC sharp and broadly M-shaped; midocellar area 
depressed and weakly delimited; mesopleuron tridentate below 
areolate scrobal sulcus; propodeal projection stout, truncate; T-III 
with an angular basolateral projection (fig. 5), pit row weakly 
impressed, pits long oval; apical rim convex; S-II spots nearly 
confluent. 
Female. As in male. F-I about 1.5X as long as broad, slightly 
longer than pedicel, F-II or III; F-II very slightly shorter than F-III. 
Male holotype. Zabeel, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 1-27-79, 
E. A. Sugden (U. C. Davis). Paratypes, 18 males, 4 females, Zabeel, 
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, I-IV, 1984-5, E. A. Sugden; 1 female, 
Amir, United Arab Emirates, V-2-84, E. A. Sugden. 
Discussion. The prominent basolateral swelling and concolor- 
ous T-III place sugdeni in the versicolor group, where it is distinct in 
having the subantennal space longer than the malar space. The 
species is named for Evan Sugden, who collected a large number of 
Chrysididae in Dubai. 
Spintharina edneyi Bohart, new name 
Chrysis (Gonochrysis) rubescens Edney 1952: 446. Holotype 
male, “Springbok, Namaqualand,” South African (South 
African Museum, Capetown). Nec Radoskowski 1880. 
I have seen the type which is a Spintharina in the innesi group. In 
addition to the relatively long malar space the flagellum is some- 
what nodose and bicolored (fig. 2). The scapal basin is plainly 
microridged in the middle third. T-III is broad with a slight api- 
comedial indentation. The new name is given in honor of E. B. 
Edney, who published extensively on South African Chrysididae. 
Spintharina postpunctata Bohart, new species 
Holotype female. Length 5.5 mm. Bright reddish coppery with 
tinges of green on scutellum and metanotum, sterna green and 
coppery, wings lightly stained; scapal basin lightly silver setose on 
outer fourth, middle half epunctate and microridged; other puncta- 
tion moderate, slightly separated, continued evenly to apex of T-III; 
F-I 2.5X as long as broad, nearly twice as long as pedicel, F-II or
