Abstract
A contribution to the knowledge of Indian and Sri Lankan Chrysididae is given. The following six species are described: Chrysis decorosasp. nov. from Rajasthan (Ch. maindroni group); Ch. glauca sp. nov. from Karnataka (Ch. succincta group); Ch. zdenula sp. nov. from Tamil Nadu (Ch. succincta group); Ch. kartikeya sp. nov. from Tamil Nadu (Ch. decemdentata group); Ch. unidentata sp. nov. from Tamil Nadu (Ch. unidentata group); Hedychridium zeylanicum sp. nov. from Sri Lanka (H. roseum group). The Chrysis unidentata group is established here; the Ch. maindroni, Ch. pulchella and Hedychridium roseum groups are recorded for the first time for the Oriental Region. The genus Isegama Krombein, 1983 and eight species are recorded for the first time from India: subfamily Amiseginae: Isegama aridula (Krombein, 1980); subfamily Chrysidinae, tribe Elampini: Hedychridium mysticum Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1912, Hedychrum striatum Mocsáry, 1911, Holophris marginella (Mocsáry, 1890), Omalus aeneus (Fabricius, 1787); tribe Chrysidini: Chrysis goetheana Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1967, Praestochrysis spinula Bohart, 1988, and Primeuchroeusmalayensis (Linsenmaier, 1982). Chrysis goetheana is transferred to the Ch. pulchella group. New distributional data for other six Indian species are provided.
