Chrysis laeta : Dahlbom 1854: 223.

Type locality.

"Habitat in promontorio bonae spei, D. Draege, Mus. DD. Drewsen et Spinola; in Guinea, D. Westermann".

Material.

Paralectotypes 1 ♂ and 3♀♀. Chrysis laeta, Dr.; D. Draege, Cap. B. Esp.

Catalogue Casolari & Casolari Moreno. Chrysis laeta, 45, 53, 21, 4 (box 51).

Remarks.

Bohart (in Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 430) designated a lectotype using a specimen housed in ZMUC. The interpretation of the species given by Linsenmaier (1999: 177) is not correct, since it belongs to the Chrysis splendidula - senegalensis group and not to the comparata - scutellaris group.

Current status.
