Distribution: no exact locality. Megachile aduaensis is known from Eritrea and Ethiopia . According to the given name the type locality is probably Adua in Ethiopia , which is situated near the Eritrean border. PASTEELS (1965: 417) described Chalicodoma vachali from Adua ( Ethiopia , not Eritrea ), which could be the male. There are no further records of Megachile aduaensis from Eritrea .
