Chrysis mir Mocsáry, 1912b

( Figs 43 A–43F)

Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) mir Mocsáry, 1912b: 556 . Holotype ♂; India orientalis (HNHM) . Bischoff 1913: 55 (cat., India). Chrysis mir: Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 439 (cat., East India).

Material examined. 1 ♂, India orientalis, Collect. Bingham, Mir Mocs. typ. det. Mocsáry, Holotypus Chrysis mir ♂ Mocs. RM Bohart, id nr. 135343 Hym. coll. ( HNHM) .

Distribution. India orientalis (locality not specified). The occurrence of this species in India is needed, since the type locality corresponds precisely to what today we would call “Southern Asia”.

Remarks. Chrysis mir belongs to the comparata-scutellaris group and could be the male of Chrysis oblita Bohart in Kimsey & Bohart, 1991. Examination of more specimens is needed to confirm this hypothesis.
