Holotype ♀ ; India : West Bengal : Barrackpore (HECO). Bingham 1903: 437 (key), 461– 462 (descr., Barrackpore, Deesa); Jonathan et al. 1977: 87 (cat., India : Barrackpore, Deesa); Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 404 (cat., India : Barrackpore, splendidula-senegalensis group). Chrysis ( Tetrachrysis ) disparilis : Bischoff 1913: 50 (cat., India ). Material examined. 1 ♀ ; Karaikal , Kurumbagaram , ix.1951 , leg. Nathan , Paratype Chrysis karikalensis Linsenmaier , det. Linsenmaier 1987 ( MNLU ) . Distribution. India ( Gujarat ; Puducherry ; West Bengal ); Sri Lanka ( Kimsey & Bohart 1991 ). Remarks. Linsenmaier labelled some specimens as Chrysis karikalensis (nomen in collection) that we identify as Ch. disparilis Cameron. However , we examined only specimens of Ch. disparilis ( Fig. 32 ) identified by Bingham, who studied Cameron materials, and that we considered as reliable identifications. Specimens examined by Linsenmaier from Karikal shows some alteration on the terga II and III: the apical margin of the tergum II is not evidently raised as in Chrysis disparilis (this is the same diagnostic character of the common Palaearctic species Ch. splendidula ), and the pits of the pit row are distinctly smaller and rounded. We cannot evaluate if these characters can be considered as intraspecific variations or may represent different taxa.
