Origin
It was described in 1977 by G. G. M. Schulten in a taxonomic work that reviewed Megachilidae from Malawi (Central Africa).
The 1977 work by Schulten described M. mlunguziensis among several other new species from Malawi; reflecting that the genus Megachile has rich species diversity in that region.[2]
