Remarks.

The two syntypes are badly damaged. Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 408), without type examination, placed it in the Chrysis smaragdula group because Radoszkowski described Chrysis erivanensis in the section: "Ano sex-dentatae". Radoszkowski described the anal margin of Chrysis erivanensis as follows: “troisième segment finement variolo-chagriné, sa base bleuâtre; points de la serie profonds, inégales; les quatre dents interieures egales élancées; les dents latérales éloignées, remontant vers la base du segment, très peu accentué”. The anal margin of Chrysis erivanensis has four teeth and two lateral rounded swellings, which cannot be considered as true teeth. Even if the the apical margin of the third tergite is unusual, this species can be included in the Chrysis ignita group for all the other characteristics.
