Remarks. Chrysis grohmanni bolivari was synonymised by Rosa et al. (2013) with Chrysis singula Radoszkowski, 1891 without type examination and based on material considered reliably identified. The examination of Radoszkowski’s types (Rosa et al. 2015) excluded this synonymy and here we follow Linsenmaier’s (1959) interpretation of the species until Mercet’s type can be examined.
