Psyche 
[Vol. 94 
weak; metanotum rounded; mesopleuron edentate, episternal and 
scrobal sulci moderately impressed; propodeal projection slender, 
sharp, incurved behind. T-I with subbasal humps unusually promi- 
nent; T-II midline faint; T-III slightly saddled, a median hump 
before pit row, lateral margin straight, pits deep, 4 distal teeth, 
lateral pair forming a right angle, middle pair closer together and 
sharp but short (Fig. 7); S-II spots long oval, 5 MOD apart. 
Female holotype (PRETORI A-NC), SOUTH AFRICA: Trans- 
vaal Prov., Nylsvley Nature Reserve, XII-11-79 (W. A. Harrop). 
Paratype female, SOUTH AFRICA: Transvaal Prov., Entabeni 
Forest Reserve, Soutpansberg, XI-7-80 (M. W. Mansell, DAVIS). 
discussion: The exceptionally broad face at the mandible base is 
distinctive for this medium-sized species (Fig. 7). This broadening 
also affects the interantennal and eye-genal carina spaces, which are 
greater than usual. The rather knobby T-I in front is reminiscent of 
the palearctic subsinuata group but the similarity is probably coin- 
cidental. In most respects genosa fits into the delicatula group, but 
discovery of the male will be needed to confirm this. Although 
mandibularis Buysson is considerably smaller, and its interpunctural 
areas are microsculptured, the laterally expanded face and other 
features are much like those of genosa. 
Chrysis kenyana Bohart, new species 
holotype female: Length 6 mm. Body slender, green marked 
with purple in ocellar areas, most of midscutal area, T-II sublateral 
basal spots, T-III basally and postpit. F-I green in front; wings 
nearly clear; tarsi brownish yellow. Punctation moderate and close, 
coarse toward middle of T-II. F-I 1.3X as long as broad, about as 
long as pedicel, a little longer than F-II; scapal basin with sides 
nearly parallel (Fig. 8), finely punctate and faintly microridged 
medially; TFC M-like; midocellar area partly margined; malar 
space 0.8 MOD; subantennal space 1.8 MOD. Pronotum as long as 
scutellum, a shallow median groove; scutum with a strong pretegu- 
lar hook; metanotum rounded; mesopleuron edentate, episternal 
and scrobal sulci well developed; propodeal projection sharp, 
incurved behind. Midline of T-II a flat median welt; T-III slightly 
saddled, a low transverse prepit swelling, lateral margin with a dis- 
tinct obtuse angle at middle point (Fig. 8), pit row moderately 
impressed, pits relatively large, distal margin with 4 long, sharp 
teeth (Fig. 8); S-II spots oval, 2.5 MOD apart.
