Bo hart — African Chrysis 
287 
discussion: The T-III distal flange is similar to that in some 
Spintharina, but the incurved propodeal projection (Fig. 17) rules 
out a close relationship. The weakly bidentate lower mesopleuron, 
quadrate lower frons, flanged T-III, and large S-II spots (Fig. 18) 
place senegalana in the cuprata group. It is the first species of the 
group recorded from the Afrotropical Region. The all green color, 
and large T-III postpit flange are distinctive. 
Chrysis somaliae Bohart, new species 
holotype male: Length 7 mm. Body moderately stout, green, 
some purple in ocellar area, midscutum, and basolaterally on T-I-II; 
pedicel and flagellum dark, tarsi reddish brown, wings lightly 
stained. Punctation moderate to coarse, slightly spaced on terga. F-I 
broader than long and shorter than pedicel, F-II even shorter, F-I-II 
together shorter than F-III (Fig. 12), scapal basin with outer one- 
third punctate, upper middle one-third weakly microridged between 
punctures; TFC strong, crescentic (Fig. 12); malar space 2.0 MOD; 
subantennal space 2.0 MOD. Pronotum shorter than scutellum, 
median groove present but weak; metanotum rounded; mesopleu- 
ron edentate, episternal and scrobal sulci distinct; propodeal projec- 
tion sharp, incurved behind. T-II midline a raised welt; T-III evenly 
convex before pit row which is obsolete, lateral margin slightly 
sinuate, 6 short but sharp distal teeth (Fig. 12), outermost pair 
shortest; S-II spots rather small, round, 2 MOD apart. 
Male holotype (DAVIS), SOMALIA: Laga, XI-29-1894 (A. D. 
Smith). 
discussion: This species does not seem to be related to any other 
African Chrysis. Especially notable are the extremely short F-I-II 
which separates it from all other 6-toothed Chrysis (Fig. 12). A few 
other species in the smaragdula group, and all of the oculata group 
have F-I short, but none have this condition in both F-I and F-II. 
Chrysis stangei Bohart, new species 
holotype female: Length 5.5 mm. Body moderately stout, green, 
grading to blue on T-II-III, tegular purple, tarsi light brown, F-I 
green in front, wings nearly clear. Punctation moderately coarse and 
slightly spaced on vertex, notum, and T-I, interpunctural areas 
microsculptured; T-II-III punctures small, somewhat spaced, inter-
