Subgenus Chrysosarus MitchellMegachile (Chrysosarus) Mitchell 1943b: 664. Type species: Megachile guaranitica Schrottky 1908. Original designation. Michener et al 1994: 149, Michener 2000: 553. Chrysosarus subgenus Dactylomegachile Mitchell 1980: 72. Megachile (Dactylomegachile) Mitchell 1943b: 670. Type species: Megachile parsonsiae Schrottky 1913. Original designation. Chrysosarus (Chrysosarus) Mitchell 1980: 72. Chrysosarus (Dactylomegachile) Mitchell 1980: 72. Synonymy of Michener 2000: 553. This is primarily a southern subgenuswith only one species reaching Panamá. The 51 species range from Guyana and Peru to southern Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. To date 20 species are known from Argentina and 21 from Brazil. T. B. Mitchell (1943b) selected M. guaranitica as the type species of the subgenus because at that time it was the only species of the group in which the sexes had been associated. I have followed Professor Michener's suggestion that Dactylomegachile be incorporated into Chrysosarus. The separation of the subgenera on colour and size (used by Mitchell 1943 and Silveira et al 2002) do not hold for many of the species.
