Description

A new species of pantaloon bee, Dasypoda (Heterodasypoda) radchenkoi Ghisbain & Wood sp. nov., is described from both males and females collected in the limestone mountains of south-western Spain. COI barcodes show an important differentiation from D. morotei Quilis, 1928 of approximately 9.6% but the morphological divergence between the two species is extremely low. Dasypoda radchenkoi sp. nov. is the fifth species of Heterodasypoda found in Iberia, further confirming the peninsula as the center of diversity for the subgenus.

Découverte inattendue d’une espèce cryptique de Dasypoda dans le sud de l'Espagne (Hymenoptera : Melittidae) 

Une nouvelle espèce de dasypode, Dasypoda (Heterodasypoda) radchenkoi Ghisbain & Wood sp. nov., est décrite à partir de mâles et femelles collectés dans les montagnes calcaires du sud-ouest de l’Espagne. Des codes-barres de la COI montrent une importante différenciation avec D. morotei Quilis, 1928 d’environ 9.6 % mais la divergence morphologique des deux espèces est très faible. Dasypoda radchenkoi sp. nov. est la cinquième espèce d’Heterodasypoda trouvée sur la Péninsule ibérique, confirmant que ce lieu est le centre de diversité du sous-genre.
