Remarks.

Chrysis dalmanni is an Afrotropical species, known from South Africa ( Mocsáry 1902 b: 543; Edney 1952: 432; Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 402); Lesotho is also mentioned, but without precise locality ( Madl and Rosa 2012: 29). The species is dedicated to Johan Wilhelm Dalman (1787-1828), a Swedish physician and a naturalist interested in entomology and botany. Similarly to the case of Chrysis bohemanni , the correct spelling should be dalmani and not dalmanni. However, also in this case ( Dahlbom 1845, 1854) it is clear Dahlbom’s intention to double the final “n”, making the original surname with a German appearance.
