Abstract

A taxonomic review of the Korean Chrysis smaragdula group (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), characterized by the six apical teeth (including lateral angles or obtuse protuberances) of metasomal tergum 3, is presented. Three species, namely Chrysis daphne, C. equestris, C. principalis, are included herein. Of these, C. equestreis is recorded from Korea for the first time. Chrysis daphne is a corrected name for the previous Korean records under the name of C. fasciata. A determination key to species complemented with illustrations is made. Additional diagnoses including color variations and descriptions of male genitalia (unavailable in C. equestris) based on Korean materials are also provided.
