1987] Bohart — African Chrysis 281 
Chrysis evexa Bohart, new species 
holotype female: Length 7 mm. Body medium slender, green, a 
little purple in midscutal area, F-I weakly green, tarsi light brown, 
wings slightly stained. Punctation of head, notum and T-I moderate 
to coarse (on scutum), interspaces partly microsculptured; T-II-III 
with small, somewhat spaced punctures with intervening microsculp- 
ture. F-I 2X as long as broad; scapal basin with fine, striatiform 
punctation; brow rough and partly obscuring TFC which is 
parenthesis-like (Fig. 6); malar space 1.6 MOD; subantennal space 
1.0 MOD. Pronotum shorter than scutellum, median groove shal- 
low, lateral margin (in dorsal view) expanded before middle; 
metanotum with a short, posteromedian, spoonlike projection; 
mesopleuron edentate, episternal and scrobal sulci deep, leaving 2 
polished areolae at bottom of mesopleural side; propodeal projec- 
tion sharp, incurved behind. Midline of F-I-II faint; T-III hardly 
saddled, no prepit bulge, lateral margin slightly concave except for a 
flattened lobe in basal one-fifth (Fig. 6), pit row shallow but pits 
distinct, 4 sharp distal teeth (Fig. 6); S-II spots medium large, oval, 
practically touching. 
Female holotype (CAMBRIDGE), ZAIRE: Katanga, Lubumba- 
shi, XI-23-20 (J. Bequaert). Female paratype, same data as holotype 
(DAVIS). 
discussion: This species belongs to the wahlbergi group, all of 
which have some sort of basolateral projection on T-III. C. evexa is 
close to hoplites Mocsary but in evexa the shape of T-III (Fig. 6), 
shorter metanotal projection, evenly incurved propodeal projection, 
and generally more slender body are distinctive. 
Chrysis genosa Bohart, new species 
holotype female: Length 7 mm. Body slender, greenish-blue; 
purple on scutum medially, metanotum, T-II-III basolaterally; 
F-I-II blue in front; wings lightly stained. Punctation moderate and 
close on vertex and notum, a little spaced on T-II and on T-III 
prepit hump. F-I 2.6X as long as broad; scapal basin punctate in 
lateral two-fifths, microridged in middle one-fifth; TFC well devel- 
oped, biconvex; face greatly widened at mandible base where it is 
nearly twice as broad as at TFC (Fig. 7); malar space 4 MOD; 
subantennal space 1.5 MOD; postocellar area unusually large. 
Pronotum about as long as scutellum, median groove present but
