Kimsey & Bohart (1991: 515) cited MSNG as the depository of a male syntype of Chrysis carina Brullé. Rosa (2009) found no such specimen in that collection; however, a female syntype collected by d’Orbigny is still deposited at MNHN. It should also be noted that the caption to Fig. 27 of Lucena et al. (2024) should read “ Syntype male [not “ Holotype female”] of Chrysis fasciata …”.
