The subfamily Epitraninae was first reported from Egypt by Karrom (1974) as part of his unpublished thesis. He reported two species of Epitranus , which according to him were deposited in the Ministry of Agriculture collection (PPDD). The two species were E. erythrogaster Cameron “under the name Chalcis pensilis ”, and another described as a new species with a manuscript name. However, he did not designate a holotype for his new species. In addition, his specimens are no longer in PPDD and therefore could not be examined. Only a single specimen of this subfamily (1♂, Cairo, 19.ix.1945) was seen during the present study (AUCE), under the name Anacryptus sp.; it will be discussed in a future work within the genus Epitranus .
