Bo hart — African Chrysis 
291 
(BUDAPEST, DAVIS); paratype female, ZAIRE: Parc National 
Garamba, III-2-50 (H. DeSaeger, TERVUREN). 
discussion: This species clearly belongs to the maindroni group, 
and is closely related to maindroni Buysson. Both have the very 
slender body, moderately long male F-I, long malar space, rounded 
brow without a TFC, long postocular area, obsolete scrobal sulcus, 
sharp T-III teeth, and large S-II spots. However, in ugandae the 
middle of the scapal basin is polished instead of microridged (Fig. 
16), and the outer pair of T-III teeth are not unusually large. In 
longigena Mocsary, also related, the interpunctural areas of the 
scutum are not extensively microsculptured and the lateral ocellus is 
2 MOD from the eye. 
Chrysis whiteheadi Bohart, new species 
holotype female: Length 7 mm. Body moderately slender, green- 
ish blue, grading to purple on vertex, midsection of scutum, terga 
except laterally and postpit area of T-III; F-I dark blue, wings 
lightly brownish. Punctation of head and thorax moderate and 
close, tergal punctures about a puncture diameter apart and inter- 
vening spaces microreticulate. F-I 3X as long as broad, scapal basin 
punctate in outer one-third, transversely microridged in depressed 
median one-third, TFC broadly M-like above extensive punctate 
area, fine posterior rami nearly enclosing midocellus; malar space 
3.1 MOD; subantennal space 1.4 MOD; pronotum shorter than 
scutellum, median groove well developed; metanotum rounded; 
mesopleuron edentate, scrobal and episternal sulci distinct; propo- 
deal projection sharp, incurved behind. No T-II midline; T-III 
saddled but with low prepit swelling, pit row not deep but pits 
distinct and a little longer than broad, distal rim evenly and broadly 
rounded; S-II spots moderately large, almost coalescent. 
Female holotype (CAPE TOWN), SOUTH AFRICA: Cape 
Prov., Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, XII-27-70 (V. Whitehead). 
Paratype female, same data as holotype (DAVIS); paratype female, 
SOUTH AFRICA: Cape Prov., Hilton, XII-5-79 (F. W. and S. K. 
Gess, GRAHAMSTOWN). 
discussion: The rounded distal rim of T-III, microreticulate 
interspaces between moderately large punctures on T-III, long 
malar space, and M-like TFC characterize the species. The T-III 
shape is similar to that in capitalis Dahlhom but in other respects
