A Synopsis of the Chrysididae in America North of Mexico. Chrysis fuscipennis Brulle (Figs. 172, 226) Chrysis fuscipennis Brulle l846:38. Holotype female, Philippines (Paris). Chrysis erratica Buysson 1887:189. Syntypes, male, female, China. Egypt (Abeille Coll.). Synonymy by Mocsary 1889:370. Chrysis pulchellus Cameron 1888:126. Nec pulchella Spinola 1808. Diagnosis: F-I 1.5 times longer than broad (male) or 2.0 (female), longer than F-III, subantennal distance 1.5 MOD, malar space 1.3 MOD (male) or 1.7 MOD (female), OOD 2.0 LOD, transverse frontal carina a broad inverted U with backward branches to enclose midocellus, genal carina separated somewhat from eye, midocellus slightly lidded, mesopleuron bidentate, metanotum simple, T-II punctures not contiguous, median ridge weakly developed and polished, T-III with four short teeth (fig. 172), pit row following a broad low bulge; male S-VIII and cuspis subtriangular, paramere with exaggerated saddle shape (fig. 226), body length 7-11 mm. Discussion: The bidentate mesopleuron, dark blue body with brown wings, and relatively large size facilitate identification. Hosts: In the Orient it has been reported as a parasite in mud nests of Sceliphron and Eumenes. In the U.S. it was presumably introduced during World War II, possibly in Sceliphron mud nests on returning machinery or aircraft. In any case it subsequently attacked prepupae of Sceliphron caementarium (Drury) as reported by Stage (1960). It now causes considerable fluctuation in population levels of its well known semidomestic host. Material examined: 47 males, 103 females including type of fuscipennis. Distribution: Oriental, Palearctic and Australian Regions. In the U.S. it is known from New Jersey, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, California, and Hawaii. In Mexico it has been found in Tamaulipas (Matamoros).
