Diagnosis.
Male
(hitherto unknown). Body length 6.7 mm.
Head
. Transverse frontal carina raised, with two lateral branches encircling the anterior ocellus (Fig.
2A and B
); punctation in this area shallow to undefined; F1 as long as F2 and slightly metallic only basally; subantennal spaces elongate, 1.3
x
MOD.
Mesosoma
. Anteromedial pronotal area widely depressed and anteromedian line indistinct (Fig.
2B
); pronotum and mesonotum with even punctures, larger on the latter and polished interspaces; notauli as narrow, deep line; posterior propodeal projections narrow, apically acute and slightly divergent; mesopleuron with scrobal sulcus formed by wide, triangular and impunctate area; episternal sulcus deep and fully developed (Fig.
2D
); fore wing with radial sector almost reaching wing margin; tarsi light yellow, meso- and meta-basitarsus whitish.
Metasoma
. Terga with dense punctures and polished interspaces (Fig.
2F
); T1 dorsally, T2-T3 apicolaterally greenish to golden-greenish (possibly red in nature), contrasting with dark blue to black anteromedian area; apical margin of T3 blue after pit row; pits of pit row small, deep and rounded; apical margin quadridentate, with short, acute teeth (Fig.
2E
); interval between median teeth slightly wider than interval between median and lateral tooth; metasomal longitudinal carina faint; black spots on S2 small, subrectangular, medially largely separated (Fig.
2G
); genital capsule similar in structure to other species of the
C. scutellaris
group.

Distribution.
Mongolia (Khovd) (Radoszkowski 1889).
Remarks.
The specimen examined (Fig.
2A-G
) belongs to the
Chrysis scutellaris
species group and it is here considered as the unknown male of
Chrysis mocsaryi
, based on the unusual metasomal colouration, similar to that of the female. Examination of more material is anyway needed to confirm this identification.
