Description

Eucera (Eucera) punctatissima Pérez, 1895

This species was incorrectly interpreted and reported from Portugal based on females (Ghisbain & Rosa et al. 2023). Further examination suggests that this species is known so far only from Algeria and Tunisia where it is found in sympatry with the very morphologically similar species Eucera confinis Pérez, 1895, and that all observations from the Iberian Peninsula apply to that latter species. Note that the species name E. punctatissima was incorrectly interpreted as synonymous with the unrelated species Eucera impressiventris Pérez, 1895 that also does not occur in Europe (Dorchin 2023).
