Hylaeus (Hylaeus) monedulus

Description

Hylaeus (Hylaeus) monedulus (WARNCKE, 1992)

Fig. 6

Prosopis (Prosopis) monedula WARNCKE, 1992: 790, 801, .

Turkey: Nemrut Dag.

Hylaeus (Hylaeus) monedulus (WARNCKE, 1992) – ITIS (2020).

Remarks: It is a small, hardly known species. Its sculpture is generally smooth with strong punctation. H. fedtschenkoi resembles it most of all, but is less shiny. Furthermore, the male’s scape is shorter, the mask with distinct and deep punctation. In both sexes the antennae are short, the outline of the head is broadly trapezoidal. The species is not comparable with H. communis, at most with H. piotris DATHE & PROSHCHALYKIN, 2018, which appears slimmer in habitus, face and scapes.

Distribution: H. monedulus was described from Bitlis (Nemrut Mt, 2000 m) as indigenous in Turkey, represented by only two specimens ( and , Fig. 17.4). No new material was available for the present study.
