Lectotype ♀ designated by Bohart in Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 479 ; India : Maha- rashtra: Bombay : Poona [= Pune] (469 (key), 469–470 (descr.), pl. III (fig. 2), pl. V (fig. 7)) (MNHN) (examined). Chrysis abuensis Nurse, 1902: 307 . Syntypes ♀ ♂ , India : Rajastan : Mount Abu (HMNH, NHMUK, NHMW) (examined), syn. nov. Bingham 1903: 436 (key), 446–447 (descr., Mount Abu, 4000 ft , in Rajputana), pl. I (fig. 10); Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 379 (cat., India , capitalis group); Rosa et al. 2017d: 17 (cat., typ., India : Mt. Abu); Rosa et al. 2020a: 27 (cat., typ., fig. 1). Chrysis wroughtoni : Bingham 1903: 435 (key), 443 (descr., Bombay presidency, Poona (Wroughton); Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 479 (cat., India , capitalis group). Chrysis ( Holochrysis ) abuensis : Bischoff 1913: 37 (cat., India ). Chrysis ( Holochrysis ) wroughtoni : Bischoff 1913: 42 (cat., India ). Material examined. 1 ♀ , syntype , Baluchistan , Abu, leg. G. Nurse , det. du Buysson ( NHMW ) ; 5 ♀ , syntypes , same labels ( HNHM ) . Distribution. India ( Maharashtra ; Rajasthan ). Remarks. Apparently, Nurse (1902) did not know du Buysson (1896b) and redescribed Chrysis wroughtoni with the name Ch. abuensis . Specimens of Chrysis abuensis are distinctly larger ( 9–11 mm ) than the types of Ch. wroughtoni ( 6–7 mm ), nevertheless any other morphological difference was observed and therefore we here synonymise Ch. abuensis Nurse, 1902 , syn. nov. with Ch. wroughtoni du Buysson, 1896b .
