Chrysis natalica MOCSÁRY 1913 has been raised to species level by LINSENMAIER (1999: 228). We follow KIMSEY & BOHART (1990: 532), but the synonyms of Praestochrysis inops GRIBODO should be checked. The new combination is based on morphological and biological data The record of Chrysis natalica from Egypt (Linsenmaier 1999: 228) is a misidentification. In the Linsenmaier Collection (Natur Museum Luzern) there are specimens from following countries: Botswana (Ngami, NE Sehithwa), Democratic Republic of Congo (Kindia), Namibia (Okahandja), Sudan (Medani), Tanzania (Lyanunga Moshi), Uganda (Chua) (as Chrysis natalica MOCSÁRY in LINSENMAIER (1999: 228)).
