Chrysis turmalina Linsenmaier, 1984 was synonymized with Caenochrysis parvula (Fabricius, 1804) together with Chr. chrysofacialis and Chr. scyphiphora by Kimsey & Bohart (1991). Cae. turmalina can be distinguished from Cae. parvula and Cae. scyphiphora by its small and sparse punctures on the mesosoma (Fig. 2C), which are even more widely spaced on the mesoscutellum; the straight apical margin of the third tergum, without distinct teeth, but with right-angled lateral corners (Fig. 2F); and the black spots on the second sternum which are rounded and not elongate or ovoid like in the other two species (Fig. 2F). Based on these diagnostic characters, we consider Caenochrysis turmalina (Linsenmaier, 1984) stat. resurr. a valid species.
