Material examined. 1 ♀, syntype, Baluchistan, Abu, leg. G. Nurse, det. du Buysson ( NHMW) ; 5 ♀, syntypes, same labels ( HNHM) .

Distribution. India ( Maharashtra; Rajasthan).

Remarks. Apparently, Nurse (1902) did not know du Buysson (1896b) and redescribed Chrysis wroughtoni with the name Ch. abuensis . Specimens of Chrysis abuensis are distinctly larger ( 9–11 mm) than the types of Ch. wroughtoni ( 6–7 mm), nevertheless any other morphological difference was observed and therefore we here synonymise Ch. abuensis Nurse, 1902 , syn. nov. with Ch. wroughtoni du Buysson, 1896b .
