Material examined

Holotype ETHIOPIA • ♀; “ Scioa, Mahal-Uonz, VI.1877, [O.] Antinori”; “ Chrysis, scioensis, Tipo. Grib. ” [handwritten by Gribodo]; “Typus”; “Holotypus Chrysis scioensis Gribodo ” [handwritten by R.M. Bohart]; MSNG.

Remarks

Trichrysis scioensis was collected by Bingham (1903) in Delhi. This record was considered questionable by Rosa et al. (2021a) and possibly referred to another species later described in this genus. However, the discovery of T. inops in India and the occurrence of other species or even genera in India and Africa in recent years, i.e. the genus Odontochrydium Brauns, 1928 (Rosa 2018), the species C. principalis Smith (Rosa et al. 2015), species of the mandibularis group (Rosa & Halada 2021), T. inops (this paper), suggest a wider correlation between the two faunas, not yet carefully studied. For this reason, in the present article we list and key this African species.
