Preliminary revision of the Indian cuckoo wasp genera Trichrysis Lichtenstein, 1876 and Chrysidea Bischoff, 1910, with description of a new species (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae) Author Bijoy, Paolo Rosa Pokkattu Gopi Aswathi Bogdan Wiśniowski Chenthamarakshan text European Journal of Taxonomy 2022 2022-12-22 852 117 143 http://dx.doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2022.852.2017 journal article 223182 10.5852/ejt.2022.852.2017 7d36df18-139b-482b-b1c8-6ac9f40ce916 2118-9773 7501490 EAE18869-1DEE-493B-8935-5AB9F5ACDAA2 Trichrysis scioensis ( Gribodo, 1879 ) Fig. 7G Chrysis scioensis Gribodo, 1879: 344 .

Material examined Holotype ETHIOPIA • ♀ ; “ Scioa , Mahal-Uonz, VI.1877 , [O.] Antinori”; “ Chrysis , scioensis , Tipo. Grib. ” [handwritten by Gribodo]; “Typus”; “Holotypus Chrysis scioensis Gribodo ” [handwritten by R.M. Bohart]; MSNG . Remarks Trichrysis scioensis was collected by Bingham (1903) in Delhi . This record was considered questionable by Rosa et al. (2021a) and possibly referred to another species later described in this genus. However, the discovery of T. inops in India and the occurrence of other species or even genera in India and Africa in recent years, i.e. the genus Odontochrydium Brauns, 1928 (Rosa 2018) , the species C. principalis Smith ( Rosa et al. 2015 ), species of the mandibularis group ( Rosa & Halada 2021 ), T. inops (this paper), suggest a wider correlation between the two faunas, not yet carefully studied. For this reason, in the present article we list and key this African species.
