Osmiine bees of Corsica

In a recent publication (Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 97, 127-189, 2024) on the megachilid bees of Corsica, Le Divelec et al. (2024) report on the following findings:

  1. The records of Hoplitis (Alcidamea) claviventris and Osmia (Helicosmia) notata from Corsica are dubious;
  2. the records of Hoplitis (Anthocopa) mocsaryi, Hoplitis (Hoplitis) benoisti, Hoplitis (Hoplitis) loti, Hoplitis (Hoplitis) marchali and Osmia (Pyrosmia) cyanoxantha from Corsica are erroneous;
  3. the records of Chelostoma (Foveosmia) foveolatum and Protosmia (Nanosmia) minutula are new records for Corsica.
