Remarks.

The type of Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) carnifex shares most of the characteristics with the type of Chrysis keriensis Mocsáry, which is the male of Chrysis chrysochlora Mocsáry. The main difference is found in the punctuation on the mesosoma and on the first two metasomal tergites. Tsuneki (1948a, 1948b) considered Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) carnifex Mocsáry as a junior synonym of Chrysis chrysochlora Mocsáry, 1889.
