The record from Egypt (LINSENMAIER 1999: 182) is probably a misidentification, because he placed Chrysis dira MOCSÁRY in the scutellaris group. The holotype of Chrysis guineensis MOCSÁRY is from Guinea and not from Tanzania (Langenburg) as mentioned in KIMSEY & BOHART (1990: 404). The synonymies (e.g. Chrysis benguellae MOCSÁRY, Chrysis negusi MOCSÁRY) by KIMSEY & BOHART (1990: 404) require confirmation.
