Chrysosarus is distinguished from other subgenera in Michener’s (2000) Group 1 by the following combination of characters: veins and legs ferruginous; female mandibles 4 - dentate without cutting edges, 4 th mandibular tooth truncate or blunt, and T 6 rounded dorsally. Male with mandibles 3 - dentate, without submedial angle in the inferior margin (Fig. 5); front coxae finely pubescent; front tarsi ferruginous; distal margin of the carina of T 6 not denticulate; pilosity of T 7 generally absent; carina of T 7 absent; S 5 (Fig. 15) with gradulus of narrow, deeply curved basally, postgradular area raised basally and covering the gradulus; S 6 (Fig. 17) with two concavities on the distal margin of pregradular area.	en	Durante, Silvana, Cabrera, Nora (2009): Cladistic analysis of Megachile (Chrysosarus) Mitchell and revalidation of Megachile (Dactylomegachile) Mitchell (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae).

Mandible (Figs. 3, 5) 3 - dentate, without submedial angle on inferior margin. Hypostomal area without projection. Interantennal distance subequal to antennocular distance. Front coxa (Fig. 7) finely pubescent, without bristles, spine generally short; front tarsus ferruginous (except yellow-ferruginous in M. trucis), generally without a black inner spot and unmodified, flattened or slightly swollen in some species, not excavate anteriorly. Middle tibia with ferruginous apical spur. Preapical carina of T 6 (Fig. 13) with distal margin not denticulate, with deep median emargination. T 7 (Fig. 9) generally with short hairs, sparse or densely distributed, median tooth pronounced, preapical carina absent (except in M. bella). S 1 – S 4 exposed. S 5 (Fig. 15) with gradulus narrow, deeply curved, postgradular area raised basally, covering the gradulus, with simple hairs. S 6 (Fig. 17) with mid apical margin of pregradular area, with two concavities; pilosity of postgradular area short and sparse; apical rim with small lateral denticles. S 7 absent. Distal margin of S 8 (Fig. 18) truncate or slightly truncate, lateral margin without hairs. Gonoforceps (Fig. 11) with inner face not medially widened, distal portion straight; penis valve subcylindrical (except in M. ctenophora), upper margin of its bridge straight, lower margin medially protruding (straight in M. trucis).	en	Durante, Silvana, Cabrera, Nora (2009): Cladistic analysis of Megachile (Chrysosarus) Mitchell and revalidation of Megachile (Dactylomegachile) Mitchell (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae).
