Abstract
The characters of the genus Pachyanthrax have been applied to the Egyptian species that placed under the genera of Villa group in the main Egyptian insect collections especially the genus Thyridanthrax sensu Bezzi. Six Pachyanthrax spp. are here determined to be represented in Egypt: Pachyanthrax albosegmentataus (Engel, 1936), Pachyanthrax amri sp. nov., Pachyanthrax circe (Klug, 1832), Pachyanthrax mogyi sp. nov., Pachyanthrax nomadorum (Greathead, 1970) [new country record], and Pachyanthrax tabaninus (Bezzi, 1925) comb. nov. Species previously misidentified as Villa albifacies (Macquart, 1840) by Engel are here found to be the same as P. nomadorum. A key to species, diagnoses, and photographs of some species and genitalia are provided.
