According to Michener (2007), the subgenus Foveosmia<\/em> occurs both in the Palaearctic and the Nearctic region. However, a recent phylogenetic analysis of the genus Chelostoma<\/em> on a worldwide scale (Sedivy et al., 2008) rejected the monophyly of this subgenus. Instead, the former Foveosmia<\/em> was found to consist of three clades: a North American clade closely associated with flowers of the Hydrophyllaceae, a Palaearctic clade comprising all Foveosmia<\/em> species specialized on Campanulaceae, and Chelostoma ventrale<\/em>, an oligolege of the Asteraceae. As the Palaearctic Chelostoma foveolatum<\/em> is the type species of Foveosmia<\/em>, the Nearctic species will have to be united under a new subgeneric name. Therefore, the subgenus Foveosmia<\/em> is here considered to be exclusively Palaearctic. It contains 18 described species.<\/p>\n
