Remarks. du Buysson (1904) clearly dedicated this species to R. Oberthür (“ Je dedie cette jolie Parnope à M. R. Oberthür). As the name is mentioned in the original description, the emendation of the name by du Buysson (1904: 273) is justified and the right spelling is Chrysis oberthueri du Buysson. Oberthür is a German family name.
