spaces obviously microsculptured. F-I twice as long as broad, scapal 
basin punctate in outer one-third, weakly microridged in middle 
one-third; brow rough without indication of TFC (Fig. 13); malar 
space and subantennal space each about 1 MOD. Pronotum shorter 
than scutellum, median groove weak; metanotum with a poste- 
romedian spoonlike projection extending about 1.5 MOD; meso- 
pleuron edentate, episternal and scrobal sulci distinct, a large areole 
below latter; propodeal projection sharp, with a small convexity at 
middle of posterior edge. Midline of T-II indistinct; T-III evenly 
convex prepit, lateral margin concave except for a strong tooth in 
basal one-fifth (Fig. 13), pit row well impressed, pits large, 4 sharp 
distal teeth (Fig. 13); T-II spots long oval, close together, weakly 
pigmented (Fig. 13). 
Female holotype (GAINES VILLE-FS) NAMIBIA: 68 km e. 
Karibib, II-4-83 (L. Stange, B. Miller). Paratype, female, ZAIRE: 
Urundi Kisenyi, May, 1955 (F. J. Francois, TERVUREN). Other 
paratypes (SOUTH AFRICA, Transvaal Prov.) female, Ellisras, 
XI-22-78 (D. J. Brothers, C. E. J. Guillarmod, GRAHAMS- 
TOWN); female, Mogol Nature Reserve, XI-23-79 (S. J. van 
Tonder, PRETORIA-NC), female, Barberton, XI-11-78 (C. M. 
Eardley, PRETORIA-NC) female, Lapalala Nature Reserve, 1-23- 
89 (R. B. Kimsey, DAVIS). 
discussion: A close relative in the wahlbergi group is hoplites 
Mocsary. Distinguishing features of stangei are the small size 
(length 5.5 mm vs. 8.0), absence of the TFC, shorter malar space (1 
MOD vs 1.3), more distinctly toothlike projection basolaterally on 
T-III (Fig. 13), deeper pit row, and differently shaped propodeal 
projection ( hoplites is notched basoposteriorly). The species is 
named for a collector of the holotype, my friend Lionel Stange. 
Chrysis stevensoni Bohart, new species 
holotype male: Length 5 mm. Greenish blue, marked with pur- 
ple in ocellar area, midscutum, T-II basolaterally, T-III basally; F-I 
green in front; wings nearly clear. Punctation moderate and close. 
F-I 1.3X as long as broad, as long as pedicel, longer than F-II, 
shorter than F-III (Fig. 14); scapal basin punctate and with silvery 
hair on lateral third, microridged otherwise; TFC nearly straight; 
malar space 1.8 MOD; subantennal space 1.2 MOD. Pronotum a 
little shorter than scutellum, hardly grooved medially; metanotum
