Psyche 
[Vol. 94 
female: About as in male. F-I 2.3X as long as broad, III-X dark; 
tarsi brown; T-III saddled and with a low prepit convexity, pit row 
moderately deep. 
Male holotype (GENOA), ETHIOPIA: Sagan-Omo, Cashel, VII- 
8-39, (M. E. Zavattari). Paratypes, female, ZAIRE: Parc national 
Garamba (H. De Saeger, TERVUREN); female, TANZANIA: East 
Usambara, Amani, II-3-77 (O. Lomholdt, COPENHAGEN); fe- 
male, SOUTH AFRICA: Transvaal Prov., Acornhoek, XI-1918 
(R. W. Tucker, DAVIS). 
discussion: Although male F-II is only marginally shorter than 
F-III, other features indicate that tesserops is in the splendidula- 
senegalensis group. The outstanding feature of tesserops is the spec- 
tacle-like form of TFC (Fig. 15). This formation has been observed 
in other unrelated Chrysis, but nowhere so extreme. In other 
respects there is a resemblance to senegalensis Mocsary, but that 
species has the scapal basin microridged medially. 
Chrysis ugandae Bohart, new species 
holotype male: Length 4.5 mm. Body unusually slender, green to 
blue, notum and T-I-II apex with a faint coppery sheen, F-I green in 
front, wings nearly clear. Punctation moderate, slightly spaced, 
more so on scutum, intervals microsculptured. F-I 2.3X as long as 
broad; scapal basin finely punctate, narrowly polished medially 
(Fig. 16). TFC absent on broadly rounded brow, lateral acellus 1 
MOD from eye, postocellar area unusually long; malar space 4 
MOD, subantennal 1.3 MOD. Pronotum one-third longer than scu- 
tellum, median groove weak but present; metanotum rounded; 
mesopleuron edentate, episternal groove present, scrobal sulcus 
quite faint; propodeal projection short, pointed, slightly concave 
behind. T-II twice as long as T-III, midline evanescent; T-III evenly 
convex before pit row, lateral margin straight but concave near 
apex, pit row weakly impressed but pits relatively large, 4 distal 
teeth acute, sharp (Fig. 16) arranged in a rooflike curve; S-II spots 
large, long quadrate, narrowly separated. 
female: About as in male. Length 5-6 mm. T-III median pair of 
teeth somewhat flaring, median emargination broader and shal- 
lower than lateral one.
