Megachile (Xanthosarus) maackii Radoszkowski 1874

Description

Megachile (Xanthosarus) maackii Radoszkowski, 1874

Considered to be a nomen dubium by Praz (2017), who examined the syntype in Krakow, concluding that the material was ambiguous. Future work is needed to assess whether it truly is a synonym of M. nigriventris or a valid species, but what is clear is that no European material matches the type of M. maackii. Therefore, M. maackii is excluded from the present checklist.
