Micaria chrysis (Simon, 1910)

Micariolepis chrysis Simon 1910: 203 (♀).

Comments. The species was described based on a single female and lacks any illustrations; so far it is known from only one taxonomic entry. The species was transferred to Micaria from Micariolepis Simon, 1879, due to the synonymisation of the two genera by Wunderlich (1980). Simon (1910) compared M. chrysis with M. dives (Lucas, 1846), a trans-Palaearctic species that clearly differs from M. beaufortia, redescribed below. In addition, these two African species differ in size, M. chrysis females being 3 mm and M. beaufortia 5.25 mm.

The type locality of this species was indicated by Simon (1910) as " Petit Namaqualand: Port Nolloth "; the country was not indicated. There are two names Namaqualand: one is Great Namaqualand in southern Namibia, and another is Little Namaqualand in north-western Northern Cape Province, South Africa . The World Spider Catalog (2017) indicates its distribution as Namibia, although Little Namaqualand and Port Nolloth are located in South Africa (Fig. 30). It seems that Roewer (1955) assigned it to the wrong country, mentioning that the species was from "SW-Afrika" (currently Namibia) .
