The record from Zimbabwe is not mentioned in KIMSEY & BOHART (1990: 405). Chrysis propinqua EDNEY 1952 is a junior homonym of Chrysis propinqua MOCSÁRY 1889 . Originally described as Chrysis propingua (MOCSÁRY (1889: 343, also index)) de DALLA TORRE (1892: 86) corrected propingua in propinqua without realizing the printing error. The corrected name has been used by subsequent authors (e.g. BISCHOFF (1913: 56 as synonym of Chrysis nisseri DAHLBOM 1845), KIMSEY & BOHART (1990: 343).
