Overview
Taken from: R. M. Bohart and L. S. Kimsey. 1982. A Synopsis of the Chrysididae in America North of Mexico.

Chrysis nisseri Dahlbom

(Figs. 171, 228, 229)
Chrysis nisseri Dahlbom, 1845:14. Holotype female, Remedios (Panama or Colombia) (Lund).
Chrysis propingua Mocsary, 1889:343. Lectotype female (here designated), Blumenau, Brazil (Vienna).
Chrysis laminifer Bischoff, 1910:460. Holotype female, Dallas, Texas (Berlin).
Chrysis chiriquensis Bischoff, 1910:461. Holotype female, Chiriqui, Panama (Berlin).
Chrysis palifera Bischoff 1910:461. Holotype male, Hacienda el Cora, Tepic, Mexico (Berlin).

Diagnosis: F-I 1.6-1.7 times as long as broad, longer than F-III, subantennal distance 1.0 MOD, malar space 1.5 MOD, OOD 2.5 LOD (male) and 2.3 LOD (female), transverse frontal carina distinct, broadly W-shaped, genal carina well separated from eye, midocellus not lidded, mesopleuron subdentate, metanotum with a spoon shaped projection, T-II punctures well separated, median ridge partly developed, T-III with four rather sharp teeth (fig. 171), pit row partly obscured beneath a prepit bulge, male S-VIII broadly rounded distally (fig. 229), paramere simple (fig. 228), body length 7-10 mm.

Discussion: The spoonlike projection of the metanotum is diagnostic. The W-shaped frontal carina and well separated punctures of T-III are also unusual.

Material examined: 19 males including type of palifera, 77 females including types of nisseri, propingua, laminifera, and chiriquensis.

Distribution: This essentially neotropical species ranges from Argentina to eastern U.S., east of the 96th meridian (TEXAS: Palestine, Nacogdoches) and north to southern PENNSYLVANIA (Cumberland Co.), OHIO (Wooster), and southern INDIANA (Harrison Co.).
