Hoplitis benoisti and H. gregaria
Hoplitis (Hoplitis) benoisti benoisti (Alfken, 1935) and H. (Hoplitis) benoisti gregaria (Warncke, 1992) exhibit an allopatric distribution, the former occurring in the southwestern European mediterranean area, the latter in the Maghreb. Both taxa morphologically differ by several substantial characters in the male and female sex (see Warncke, 1992 and Le Divelec, 2024). Hoplitis gregaria is therefore newly regarded as a species of its own.
