Bo hart — African Chrysis 
279 
spaced on T-II, fine and close on T-III. F-I 4.3X as long as broad, 
2. IX as long as pedicel; scapal basin punctate on outer one-third, 
microridged on middle third; TFC partly broken, M-like (Fig. 3); 
malar space 2.8 MOD; subantennal space 1.8 MOD. Pronotum as 
long as scutellum, grooved in front; metanotum rounded, mesopleu- 
ron edentate, episternal and scrobal sulci moderately impressed; 
propodeal projection pointed, concave behind. Midline of T-II faint 
in anterior one-half; T-III saddled before low transverse prepit 
swelling, lateral margin a little convex, pit row well developed, distal 
margin notched medially between rounded teeth (Fig. 3), apicolat- 
eral corners broadly rounded; S-II spots long oval, widely separated. 
Female holotype (PRETORIA-TM), SOUTH AFRICA: Cape 
Prov., Willowmore (Dr. Brauns). Paratypes, 3 females, same data as 
holotype (PRETORIA-TM, DAVIS). 
discussion: This is related to exsecata Mocsary on the basis of its 
laterally rounded and medially notched distal rim of T-III, M-like 
TFC, slender F-I, and medially microridged scapal basin. However, 
capana is a larger and more slender species, S-II spots much farther 
apart, TFC partial, F-I 4.3 rather than 3X as long as broad, and 
T-III finely rather than coarsely punctate (Fig. 3). 
Chrysis capicola Bohart, new species 
holotype male: Length 6 mm. Body moderately slender, green, 
grading to purple in ocellar area, T-II medially, and T-III; F-I 
weakly green, wings lightly stained. Punctation moderate and close. 
F-I 2X as long as broad, F-II 1.2X and a little shorter than F-III 
which is 1.5X as long as broad (Fig. 4); scapal basin punctate in 
outer one-fourth, microridged with some punctures in middle half; 
TFC like a broad and rounded M; malar space 2.3 MOD; suban- 
tennal space 1.6 MOD. Pronotum a little shorter than scutellum, 
median groove well developed; metanotum rounded; mesopleuron 
edentate, episternal and scrobal sulci well developed; propodeal pro- 
jection sharp, incurved behind. Midline of T-II-III faint; T-III with 
a low medial prepit swelling, lateral margin nearly straight, pits 
distinct in a shallow pit row groove, postpit area short, 4 short and 
obtuse distal teeth (Fig. 4); S-II spots long oval, 4.5 MOD apart. 
female: About as in male; F-I 2.4X as long as broad, longer than 
F-II which is longer than F-III; subantennal space 1.8 MOD; TFC 
rather faint; one female mostly purple; T-III (Fig. 4).
