[en] Chrysis poggii n. sp. is described from Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, and the nearby smaller islands of Ambon, Bali, Bawean, Flores, Kangean, Sumbawa, and Palau Panaitan). Specimens of this taxon were previously misidentified as C. comottii Gribodo, 1884 (repl. name for C. insularis Smith, 1859 nec Guérin-Méneville, 1842) by most taxonomists, thus obscuring its real identity and its distribution. Chrysis feana Mocsáry, 1893 sp. resurr. and C. fukaii Rohwer, 1991 sp. resurr. are resurrected from the previous synonymy with C. parallela Brullé, 1846. Chrysis lepcha Cameron, 1902 is synonymised with C. principalis Smith, 1874. Pictures of types and updated lists for the Oriental and Australian species belonging to the smaragdula, decemdentata and oculata groups are given.
