Male holotype (GAINESVILLE-AI), SOUTH AFRICA: Cape 
Prov., Kirstenbosch, XI-25-70 (H. and M. Townes). Paratypes 
(SOUTH AFRICA, Cape Prov.), 5 males, some data as holotype 
(also DAVIS), 2 females, IX and I, Jonkersboek (H. and 
M. Townes, GAINESVILLE-AI; V. Whitehead, CAPE TOWN); 
female, Cape Nature Reserve, III-10-68 (P. Spangler, DAVIS). 
discussion: The slightly short male F-II (Fig. 4) places this 
species in the splendidula-senegalensis group along with other 
African species: laeta Dahlbom, senegalensis Mocsary, and 
impudens Edney. From all of these, capicola differs by its longer 
malar space (2.3 MOD vs. about 1.0). Also, T-III teeth are less 
sharp, and male F-III-X are dark. In the other 3 species these male 
articles tend to be reddish. In kenyana Bohart the malar space is 0.8 
MOD and it has a distinctive pretegular hook. 
Chrysis crenula Bohart, new species 
holotype male: Length 4.5 mm. Body slender, blue-green with 
some purplish, especially at base of T-II and on T-III, wings water 
clear. Punctation moderately coarse, punctures 0.5- 1.0 PD apart 
and intervening space micropunctate, especially on terga. F-I 2. IX 
as long as broad, a little longer than F-II, which is equal to F-III; 
scapal basin mostly punctate and silver pubescent, narrowly pol- 
ished medially; brow rough but without a TFC (Fig. 5); malar space 
2.5 MOD; subantennal space 1.5 MOD. Pronotum shorter than 
scutellum, median groove weak; metanotum rounded; mesopleuron 
edentate, episternal and scrobal sulci weak; propodeal projection 
slender and sharp, incurved behind. Midline of T-II faint; T-III 
evenly convex before well developed pit row, lateral margin straight, 
4 short distal teeth, middle pair close together (Fig. 5); S-II spots 
oval, separated by 2 MOD. 
female: about as in male, T-III slightly saddled. 
Male holotype (PRETORIA-NC), SOUTH AFRICA: Transvaal 
Prov., Roodenplaat, XII-1978 (C. D. Eardley). Paratypes, 2 
females, same data as holotype (PRETORIA-NC, DAVIS); female, 
Natal Prov., Umfolozi Game Reserve, XI-20-78 (D. J. Brothers, 
C. F. J. Guillarmod, GRAHAMSTOWN). 
discussion: This small slender species, with T-III notched api- 
cally is a little like delicatula but the moderately long F-I and 
absence of a TFC (Fig. 5) rule it out of that group. In addition the 
interpunctural microsculpture is distinctive.
