A catalogue of the chrysidid type specimens housed at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule in Zurich with revision and discussion of their status is presented. Selected images of the primary types are given. The new replacement name Chrysis robertsi Rosa nom. nov. pro Chrysis viridicyanea Linsenmaier, 1959, nec Giebel, 1862 is given. Ellampus subauratus Mocsary, 1890 spec. resort.. is restored from the previous synonymy with Philoctetes sareptanus (Mocsary, 1889). The new synonymy Ellampus schulthessi subauratus Mocsary, 1890 = E. conifer Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1932 syn. nov. is proposed.
