Chrysis brothersi Bohart, new species 
holotype male: Length 7 mm. Body robust, blue to bluish pur- 
ple, ocellar area and broad median stripe on mesonotum purple; 
tarsi reddish brown, F-I blue in front, wings weakly stained. Punc- 
tation medium coarse, somewhat spaced on T-II-III. F-I as broad as 
long (Fig. 2), a little longer than pedicel, three-fifths as long as F-II; 
scapal basin punctate, dense silvery hair in outer two-fifths; TFC 
strong, midocellar area margins arising from sublateral angles; 
midocellus lidded; malar space 1.3 MOD; subantennal space 1.6 
MOD. Pronotum shorter than scutellum, median groove well devel- 
oped; metanotum rounded; mesopleuron bidentate, episternal and 
scrobal sulci distinct; propodeal projection pointed, very lightly 
convex behind. Midline of T-II weakly indicated; T-III rounded 
before moderately deep pit row, prepit bulge hardly raised, lateral 
margin sinuate, 4 sharp and acute distal teeth well within lateral 
margin, median emargination deep (Fig. 2), submedian one more 
shallow; S-II spots medium, round, narrowly separated. 
female: About as in male. Length 7.5 mm. More green than blue, 
F-I 1.8X as long as broad, about as long as F-II, T-III a little 
saddled, distal teeth evenly spaced. 
Male holotype (GRAHAMSTOWN) SOUTH AFRICA: Cape 
Prov., 30 km se, Hoedspruit, XI-14-78 (D. J. Brothers, C. F. J. 
Guillarmod). Paratypes, female, SOUTH AFRICA: Transvaal 
Prov.: Langjan Nature Reserve, 1-24-82 (C. D. Eardley, PRE- 
TORIA-NC); female, Mogol Nature Reserve, XI-23-79 (S. J. van 
Tonder and G. L. Princeloo, DAVIS). 
discussion: The short male F-I (Fig. 2), rounded metanotum, 
T-III teeth inside an expansion, and medium-sized round S-II spots 
narrowly separated, all place brothersi near zuluana Mocsary. The 
latter differs by the much finer punctation and extensive micro- 
sculpture. 
The species is named for a collector of the holotype, the well- 
known hymenopterist, Dennis Brothers. 
Chrysis capana Bohart, new species 
holotype female: Length 7 mm. Body slender, green, F-I mostly 
green in front, wings lightly stained. Punctation moderate and close 
on vertex and notum, somewhat spaced on T-I, finer and a little
