Ceratina tarsata is known from the Afrotropical ( Chad , Djibouti , Eritrea , Mali , Senegal , Sudan ) and Palaearctic (e.g. Yemen ) regions. The material from the Smith Collection ( DALY 1983b: 504 ) was published by WALKER (1871a) as Ceratina mauritanica . The papers of WALKER (1871a) and INNES BEY (1912) have been overlooked till now. The record from Djibouti ( WALKER 1871a ) is not mentioned in DE DALLA TORRE (1896: 196) , FRIESE (1905a: 3 ; 1909a ) and EARDLEY & URBAN (2010).
