Chrysis chiriquensis Bischoff, 1910 was synonymized by Kimsey & Bohart (1991) with Chr. propinqua Mocsáry, 1889 . However, Chr. chiriquensis has long, acute apical teeth with the median ones more spiniform than the lateral ones (Fig. 6A); the metasomal punctation at the sides of the second tergum is sparser with larger punctures and wide, polished interspaces with scattered, shallow, small punctures (Fig. 6B); the black spots on the second sternum are transversally suboval, only partially in contact medially (Fig. 6C), wheras in Chr. propinqua the apical teeth are short, stout, with the median teeth similar to the lateral ones (Fig. 6D); the metasomal punctation at the sides of the second tergum is denser, with smaller punctures (Fig. 6E); the black spots on the second sternum are subtriangular and largely fused medially (Fig. 6F). Based on these diagnostic characters, we consider Chrysis chiriquensis Bischoff, 1910 stat. resurr. a valid species.
