  • 1. Natural History Museum

Description

Two species of Camptopoeum, C. (Camptopoeum) negevense and C. (Epimethea) subflavum, are reported from the Arabian Peninsula for the first time. The specimen label data was obtained from the bee collection of the Natural History Museum, London. This increases the known number of Arabian Camptopoeum to three. A key to these Arabian species is proposed, and descriptions of specimens and their genitalia are given. 

Nouvelles mentions de Camptopoeum Spinola, 1843 pour la péninsule Arabique avec une clef des espèces de la région (Hyménoptères : Andrenidae : Panurginae) 

Les données proviennent de spécimens des collections du Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle de Londres. Ces données portent le nombre d’espèces de Camptopoeum de la péninsule Arabique à trois. Une clé de détermination est proposée ainsi que la description des individus et leurs genitalia.
