Chrysis remissa Mocsary



(Figs. 167, 269, 270, 271) Chrysis remissa Mocsary 1914:52. Holotype female, Presidio, Chihuahua, Mexico (Budapest).

Diagnosis: F-I in male 1.7 times as long as broad, in female 2.3 times, F-II-III in male 1.0 and 1.2 times, subantennal distance and malar space 1.3 MOD, OOD in male 2.5-3.0 LOD, in female 1.5-2.0 LOD, IOD in male 3.0 LOD, a little less in female, transverse frontal carina a well developed broad reverse U, genal carina separated from eye, midocellus lidded, mesopleuron and metanotum edentate but former with prominent carinae, T-II without a median ridge; T-III (female) with a strong saddle and prepit bulge, lateral margin gently convex, pit row deep and with median ridge sharp but depressed, posterior margin of III with four teeth (fig. 167), double edged, median notch rather angular; S-II with dark spots separated by about 2. 5 MOD, S-III blue or green in median half, male S-VIII with a long apical “tail” (fig. 269), paramere quite broad and with a peculiar setal arrangement (fig. 271), body length 5-6 mm.

Discussion: This species can usually be recognized by the form of T-III, especially in the female, along with the lidded midocellus, moderately long F-I, and well developed frontal carina. The paramere (fig. 271) is unique. The postocellar area of the vertex in females but not in males may have a varying development of smooth tubercles. Another secondary sexual difference is the greater ocellocular distance in males. C. remissa has been placed previously in the coerulans group but it does not fit there.

Material examined: 19 males, 50 females including type.
