Chrysis pattoni Aaron
(Figs. 164, 258, 259)
Chrysis pattoni Aaron 1885:235. Holotype female, Colorado (ANSP).
Discussion: The unusually long malar space, particularly in the female (fig. 164), moderately long teeth of T-III, and narrowed frons in the female are essential characteristics. The paramere is the simplest of the group (fig. 258), and S-VIII has an unusually slender tail (fig. 259).
Hosts: Ancistrocerus spilogaster Cameron, Leptochilus washo Parker, Microdynerus bakerianus (Cameron), all recorded from trap stems by Parker and Bohart (1966, 1968), and Parker (1970).
Material examined: 72 males, 105 females including type.
Distribution: Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states; also two males from Atlanta, Michigan, and a male from Beach, North Dakota. Provinces included are Saskatchewan and British Columbia. Records from Ithaca, New York and Boston, Massachusetts should be checked.
Species group of Chrysis pattoni Aaron
Diagnosis: Male F-I not longer than F-III, 1.0-1.5 times as long as broad, female F-I 2.0-2. 7 times; subantennal distance a little more or less than 1.0 MOD, usually shorter than malar space which is 1.0-2. 5 MOD; transverse frontal carina complete nearly to compound eye but not curved in below, no backward branches; genal carina separated from eye; midocellus not lidded; mesopleuron and metanotum rather simple; T-II sometimes with a densely micropunctate median longitudinal ridge; T-III distally with a simple edge and four teeth, laterally nearly straight or concave in males of some species; male S-VIII greatly narrowed distally, least so in karri, most in lucifera.
Included species: amala Rohwer, barri Bohart, derivata Buysson, irwini Bohart, lucifera Bohart, pattoni Aaron, and snowi Viereck.
Discussion: Males of the pattoni group are rather easily distinguished on the basis of male genitalia (figs. 257, 264). Also, they have F-I in various stages of reduction. Females of some species are difficult to separate. Several species have been reared from eumenid hosts in twigs or other wood cavities.
