Osmiine bees of Croatia
In a recent publication, Jozan (2009) lists 48 osmiine bee species for Croatia, 11 of which are new records for this country: Chelostoma (Foveosmia) styriacum, Hoplitis (Alcidamea) acuticornis, Hoplitis (Alcidamea) praestans, Hoplitis (Prionohoplitis) campanularis, Osmia (Allosmia) rufohirta, Osmia (Helicosmia) aurulenta, Osmia (Helicosmia) leaiana, Osmia (Hoplosmia) scutellaris, Osmia (Metallinella) brevicornis, Osmia (Osmia) mustelina and Osmia (Tergosmia) tergestensis. The species identity of two of the listed species is doubtful: Hoplitis (Micreriades) tenuispina is rather Hoplitis (Micreriades) mazzuccoi due to the known distribution ranges of these two species and Protosmia (Protosmia) tauricola might possibly be another Protosmia species due to the difficulties in reliably identifying females of this genus.
