Xylocopa hottentotta Smith 1854

Description

Xylocopa hottentotta Smith, 1854

Distribution: Sub-Saharan Africa (Terzo & Ramont 2014).

Literature. Friese (1901): Mentioned from Syria without locality details.

There has been a great deal of confusion on the old records of this taxon in Northern Africa and the Levant. These records could be either referebale to either X. sulcatipes Maa, 1970 or X. ustulata Smith, 1854 (Terzo & Ramont 2014), but we feel confident that they do not correspond to true X. hottentotta.
