Megachile (Chalicodoma) rufitarsis

Description

Megachile (Chalicodoma) rufitarsis (Lepeletier, 1841)

Distribution. The presence of Megachile rufitarsis only relies on old unverified literature records (Benoist 1935, from the Balearic Islands). Given that we could not locate specimens to verify this doubtful record, we deleted this taxon from the checklist of the European species.
