Abstract

The present study is an update to the first catalogue of Russian bees published in 2017. For the Russian fauna, five recently described species are reported, as well as 45 species newly recorded since the first catalogue (including one invasive species), nine species overlooked in this previous Russian checklist, and 17 published synonymies. Original records are provided for nine species previously unknown to Russia and, as a taxonomic act, one species, Anthidium ovasi Warncke, 1980, syn. nov., is synonymised with Icteranthidium floripetum (Eversmann, 1852). Additionally, 14 species are excluded from the original catalogue and numerous other taxonomic changes and clarifications are included. The present work revises the total number of genera for Russia to 64 and the total number of species to 1,268.

Introduction

The ‘Annotated Catalogue of Russian bees’ (Astafurova and Proshchalykin 2017; Levchenko et al. 2017; Proshchalykin 2017a; Proshchalykin et al. 2017; Proshchalykin and Astafurova 2017; Proshchalykin and Fateryga 2017), is a major milestone in the study of this diverse group of hymenopteran insects in a vast territory such as that of Russia. Due to the intensive work of the team of authors, it was possible to include all the published data on bees from Russia known at that time in the catalogue. In total, the catalogue contained 1,215 species from 66 genera and six families (Colletidae – 100 species/2 genera; Andrenidae – 244/5; Halictidae – 263/13; Melittidae – 25/3; Megachilidae – 198/18; Apidae – 385/25).

For such works, it has become common practice to publish corrections and additions accumulated over time approximately once every five years. Similar updates have already been released twice for the European Bee Checklist (Rasmont et al. 2017; Ghisbain et al. 2023), first published in 2014 (Nieto et al. 2014). This first update of the catalogue of Russian bees allows for the correction of previous errors, the introduction of the latest nomenclatural and taxonomic changes, as well as the inclusion of taxa recorded for the first time and species newly described for science from this territory.

Materials and methods

Bringing together new literature records and taxonomic updates for this work was made possible by (i) an exhaustive review of the literature published since the first catalogue of Russian bees (Astafurova and Proshchalykin 2017; Levchenko et al. 2017; Proshchalykin 2017a; Proshchalykin et al. 2017; Proshchalykin and Astafurova 2017; Proshchalykin and Fateryga 2017), (ii) an in-depth revision of the literature not considered in the catalogue, and (iii) original information provided by the authors of the present work. This new list is mostly based on material directly examined by taxonomists and does not include data published online that has not otherwise been validated by experts (e.g., observations reported on iNaturalist, Discover Life, GBIF).

How to use the updated list

The species are ordered by family and listed alphabetically within the following sections:

  • Species recently described as new to science (i.e., new species described after 2017);
  • Published synonymies (i.e., synonymies published after 2017);
  • Other taxonomic changes and clarifications (i.e., relevant changes published after 2017, such as new combinations, taxa upgraded to species rank or downgraded to subspecies rank, as well as clarifications of interesting cases that have led to changes in the updated checklist of the Russian bees);
  • Species recorded in Russia after 2017 (i.e., published as new to Russia but not new to science);
  • Species overlooked in the Russian catalogue (i.e., species recorded in Russia before 2017 but not included in the annotated catalogue of 2017);
  • New species records for Russia (new entries presented in this article for the first time);
  • Species to be excluded from the Russian checklist (discussions and explanations of the exclusion of certain species from this new checklist).

The systematics at family, subfamily and tribe levels are mainly based on Michener (2007) and Ascher and Pickering (2023). Generic and subgeneric classifications are generally consistent with those used by Ghisbain et al. (2023), except in some cases noted in the text. In the dating of Morawitz’s species, we follow Kerzhner (1984) and Ebmer (2021). The names “Radoszkowski”, “Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau”, and “Audinet-Serville” are standardised here, since these authors’ names were originally written variably in different articles. The acronyms for institutions that loaned specimens or provided photographs used in this study are as follows:

Family Andrenidae Latreille, 1802

Published synonymies

Andrena (Campylogaster) nova Popov, 1940

Notes. Synonymised with Andrena chengtehensis Yasumatsu, 1935, which is the senior synonym according to Astafurova et al. (2023: 418).

Andrena (Leimelissa) ispida Warncke, 1965

Notes. Following de Dalla Torre (1896: 121), both Warncke (1967: 269) and Gusenleitner and Schwarz (2002: 176) incorrectly considered Andrena fallax Eversmann, 1852 to be a junior synonym of A. (Notandrena) chrysosceles Kirby, 1802. However, the lectotype specimen of Andrena fallax is conspecific with another species, A. ispida Warncke, 1965. According to Article 23.9.1 of the ICZN (1999), the prevailing usage of “Andrena ispida” as a valid name must not be maintained since A. fallax Eversmann, 1852 was mentioned as a valid name after 1899 by Popov (1950) and A. ispida Warncke, 1965 has been mentioned in fewer than 25 publications (Astafurova et al. 2022a: 400).

Andrena (Melandrena) gallica Schmiedeknecht, 1883

Notes. Synonymised with Andrena assimilis Radoszkowski, 1876, which is the senior synonym according to Wood and Monfared (2022: 60).

Andrena (Taeniandrena) similis Smith, 1849

Notes. Synonymised with Andrena russula Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841, which is the senior synonym according to Praz et al. (2022: 404).

Andrena (Andrena) bulgariensis Warncke, 1965

Notes. Synonymised with Andrena inconstans Morawitz, 1877, which is the senior synonym according to Wood (2023: 58).

Other taxonomic changes and clarifications

Subgeneric classification of Andrena Fabricius, 1775

In the last few years, new subgenera have been described and new combinations have been proposed. These changes are included in the current updated list.

Andrena (Campylogaster) incisa Eversmann, 1852 = A. (incertae sedis) incisa Eversmann, 1852

Andrena (Poliandrena) altaica Lebedev, 1932 = A. (Ulandrena) altaica Lebedev, 1932

Andrena (Poliandrena) florea Fabricius, 1793 = A. (Bryandrena) florea Fabricius, 1793

Andrena (Poliandrena) limbata Eversmann, 1852 = A. (Limbandrena) limbata Eversmann, 1852

Andrena (Poliandrena) ornata Morawitz, 1866 = A. (incertae sedis) ornata Morawitz, 1866

Andrena (Poliandrena) polita Smith, 1847 = A. (Ulandrena) polita Smith, 1847

Andrena (Proxiandrena) proxima (Kirby, 1802) = A. (Micrandrena) proxima (Kirby, 1802)

Andrena (Ptilandrena) vetula Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841 = A. (Simandrena) vetula Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841

Andrena (Thysandrena) hypopolia Schmiedeknecht, 1884 = A. (incertae sedis) hypopolia Schmiedeknecht, 1884

Andrena (Thysandrena) ranunculorum Morawitz, 1877 = A. (incertae sedis) ranunculorum Morawitz, 1877

Andrena (Zonandrena) chrysopyga Schenck, 1853 = A. (Melandrena) chrysopyga Schenck, 1853

Andrena (Zonandrena) sibirica Morawitz, 1888 = A. (Melandrena) sibirica Morawitz, 1888

Andrena (Hoplandrena) scotica Perkins, 1916

Notes. This name replaces the use of Andrena carantonica sensu auctorum; A. carantonica Pérez, 1902 is treated as a nomen dubium (Wood et al. 2022: 403).

Distribution. Europe, Russia (European part, Urals), Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran (Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002).

Andrena (Plastandrena) aulica Morawitz, 1876

Notes. According to Warncke (1967: 179) and Gusenleitner and Schwarz (2002: 130) A. aulica Morawitz, 1876 is a junior synonym of A. bimaculata (Kirby, 1802). However, Popov (1949), Osytshnjuk et al. (1978) and Astafurova et al. (2021) regarded A. aulica as a valid species. Wood and Monfared (2022: 66) regarded A. aulica as a subspecies of A. bimaculata (Kirby, 1802). The taxonomic status of A. bimaculata sensu lato is problematic and requires a revision. Although Astafurova et al. (2021) reported A. aulica from the European part of Russia, the distribution of this species is unclear due to ongoing taxonomic confusion with A. bimaculata. In the present update, we do not treat A. aulica as a full species.

Andrena (Taeniandrena) eversmanniana Osytshnjuk, 1994

Notes. Recognised as a valid species (not as a synonym of Andrena marginata Fabricius, 1776) according to Astafurova et al. (2022a: 404).

Distribution. Russia (Urals: Orenburg Province), Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan (Astafurova et al. 2022a).

Andrena (Taeniandrena) afzeliella (Kirby, 1802)

Notes. Recognised as a valid species (not as a synonym of Andrena ovatula Schenck, 1853) according to Praz et al. (2022: 383), Andrena afzeliella here replaces A. ovatula sensu auctorum from the 2017 checklist.

Distribution. Europe, Egypt, Russia, the Caucasus, Turkey, Israel, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia (Praz et al. 2022).

Andrena (Truncandrena) rufomaculata Friese, 1921

Notes. The reports of this species from Crimea (Proshchalykin et al. 2017: 275) actually referred to Andrena optata Warncke, 1975 (Wood et al. 2020: 30).

Distribution. Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Turkey. Andrena rufomaculata is distributed in Turkey, Iran and the Levant (Wood et al. 2020; Wood and Monfared 2022).

Species recorded in Russia after 2017

Andrena (Brachyandrena) pinguis Ariana, Scheuchl, Tadauchi & Gusenleitner, 2009

Distribution. First recorded for Russia (south of European part: Volgograd Province) by Wood and Monfared (2022: 105). Outside Russia known from Turkey and Iran (Wood and Monfared 2022).

Species overlooked in the previous Russian checklist

Species to be excluded from the Russian checklist

Andrena (incertae sedis) lateralis Morawitz, 1876

Distribution. It was reported from Russia by Astafurova et al. (2022b: 136) on the base of an erroneous record. The species occurs in Europe, the Caucasus, Turkey, Israel, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia (Astafurova et al. 2022b).

Andrena (Truncandrena) albopicta Radoszkowski, 1874

Distribution. It was reported from Russia by Lykov (2008: 32) and Rasmont et al. (2017: 19) on the base of an erroneous record. The species occurs in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Iran (Morawitz 1877; Wood and Monfared 2022).

Family Halictidae Thomson, 1869

Published synonymies

Lasioglossum (Hemihalictus) sabulosum (Warncke, 1986)

Notes. Synonymised with Lasioglossum monstrificum (Morawitz, 1891), which is the senior synonym according to Pauly and Belval (2017: 27).

Sphecodes orientalis Astafurova & Proshchalykin, 2014

Notes. Synonymised with Sphecodes pieli Cockerell, 1931, which is the senior synonym according to Astafurova et al. (2018: 38).

Other taxonomic changes and clarifications

Generic and subgeneric classification of Halictini

The generic and subgeneric classification of Halictini has remained unclear and inconsistent depending on the author or authors. The subgeneric classification of Halictus follows Michener (2007). The genus Seladonia is not used here, and species included in Seladonia in Ghisbain et al. (2023) are placed here in the subgenera Pachyceble Moure, 1940, Seladonia Robertson, 1918, and Vestitohalictus Blüthgen, 1961. The subgeneric classification of Lasioglossum is based on the conclusions of Gibbs et al. (2013) and follows Ghisbain et al. (2023) and Ascher and Pickering (2023). Species included in the subgenus Evylaeus in the first catalogue of Russian bees (Astafurova and Proshchalykin 2017) are now split into the subgenera Biennilaeus Pesenko, 2007, Dialictus Robertson, 1902, Hemihalictus Cockerell, 1897, Pyghalictus Warncke, 1975, and Sphecodogastra Ashmead, 1899.

Nomiapis monstrosa (Costa, 1861)

Notes. Nomiapis armata (Olivier, 1812) was synonymised with N. monstrosa by Baker (2002: 36). We now follow the position that N. armata (Olivier, 1812) is a nomen dubium (since was described from the deserts of Arabia, from which N. monstrosa has never been recorded).

Species recorded in Russia after 2017

Lasioglossum (Hemihalictus) medinai (Vachal, 1895)

Distribution. First record for Russia (south of European part: Volgograd Province) by Pauly et al. (2019: 32). Outside Russia known from North Africa, Southern Europe, and Israel (Pauly et al. 2019).

Lasioglossum (Hemihalictus) adabaschum (Blüthgen, 1931)

Distribution. First record for Russia (south of European part: Astrakhan Province, Kalmykia Republic) by Astafurova and Proshchalykin (2023a: 2). Outside Russia known from Turkmenistan (Astafurova and Proshchalykin 2023a).

New species records for Russia

Pseudapis bytinski (Warncke, 1976)

Distribution. New record. Russia, North Caucasus: 2 ♂♂, Dagestan Republic, Kamyshchay River valley, 41°54′29″N, 48°13′59″E, 29.VI.2018, Yu. Astafurova (ZISP). Outside Russia known from Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan (Astafurova 2014).

Sphecodes kozlovi Astafurova & Proshchalykin, 2015

New record Russia, Far East: 4 ♀♀, Amurskaya Province, Tukuringra Ridge, Zeya Mts., 12.VI.1912, Kozhanchikov (ZMMU); 1 ♂, Primorskiy Territory, Lazo Nature Reserve, 23 km SE of Lazo, 4.IX.1981, Yu. Pesenko (ZISP); 1 ♂, Primorskiy Territory, Suputinka River, 4.VIII.1948, Gussakovskij (ZMMU). Outside Russia known from China (Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Ningxia) and Mongolia (Dornod, Khentii) (Astafurova et al. 2018).

Species overlooked in the previous Russian checklist

Lasioglossum (Leuchalictus) majus (Nylander, 1852)

Distribution. Russia, centre of European part: 2 ♀♀, Kursk Province, near Kursk, 4.VI.1916, S. Malyshev (ZISP); 2 ♀♀, Kursk Province, Borisovka, 4.VI.1916, S. Malyshev (ZISP). Pesenko (1986: 113) recorded this species from “south of the European part of the USSR” without giving a precise locality for Russia. The record from Russia (Stavropol Territory) by Chenikalova (2005: 26) needs to be checked. Outside of Russia known from north-western Africa (Tunisia, Algeria), Europe (nearly throughout from Spain in the west as far as northern Germany, Poland), and through Turkey to northern Iran (Ebmer 1988; Pesenko et al. 2000).

Family Melittidae Schenck, 1860

Distribution. Russia (North Caucasus: Dagestan Republic).

Published synonymies

Coelioxys (Allocoelioxys) conspersus Morawitz, 1873

Notes. Synonymised with Coelioxys polycentris Förster, 1853, which is the senior synonym according to Schwarz and Gusenleitner (2003: 1224). This synonymy was previously overlooked by Proshchalykin and Fateryga (2017) (see also Fateryga et al. 2019).

Pseudoanthidium (Pseudoanthidium) eversmanni (Radoszkowski, 1886)

Notes. Synonymised with Pseudoanthidium tenellum (Mocsáry, 1880), which is the senior synonym according to Litman et al. (2021: 1313).

Pseudoanthidium (Pseudoanthidium) reptans (Eversmann, 1852)

Notes. Synonymised with Pseudoanthidium nanum (Mocsáry, 1880), which is the subjective synonym according to Litman et al. (2021: 1296). Pseudoanthidium reptans is a nomen oblitum, while P. nanum is a nomen protectum.

Other taxonomic changes and clarifications

Subgeneric classification of Coelioxys Latreille, 1809

A comprehensive morphological revision of the Coelioxys subgenera by da Rocha Filho and Packer (2016) was not followed by Proshchalykin and Fateryga (2017). According to this revision, Coelioxys alatus Förster, 1853, C. elongatus Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841, C. inermis (Kirby, 1802), and C. mandibularis Nylander, 1848 should be placed in the subgenus Paracoelioxys Gribodo, 1884, C. aurolimbatus Förster, 1853 and C. rufescens Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau & Audinet-Serville, 1825 should be placed in the subgenus Rozeniana da Rocha Filho, 2016, and C. conoideus (Illiger, 1806) should be placed in the monotypic subgenus Melissoctonia da Rocha Filho, 2016. The subgeneric placement of four species from the Russian fauna was not mentioned by da Rocha Filho and Packer (2016). Based on the material examined from the Primorskiy Territory of Russia, we hereby place C. pielianus Friese, 1935 in the subgenus Paracoelioxys and C. ruficinctus Cockerell, 1931 in the subgenus Rozeniana. At the same time, the subgeneric placement of C. lanceolatus Nylander, 1852 and C. obtusispina Thomson, 1872 still remains uncertain (see also Ghisbain et al. 2023).

Icteranthidium floripetum (Eversmann, 1852)

Fig. 1A–F

Anthidium floripetum Eversmann, 1852: 83, ♀, ♂ (lectotype: ♀, “Spask Aug” [Russia: Orenburg Province, Spasskoye], IZSP, designated by Litman et al. (2021: 1300)).

Anthidium ovasi Warncke, 1980: 176, ♀, ♂ (holotype: ♀, “Yesilhisar/Kayseri, Türkei” [Turkey], 3.VIII.1979, K. Warncke, OLBL), syn. nov.

Notes. Anthidium floripetum was first placed in the genus Icteranthidium Michener, 1948 by Litman et al. (2021: 1300). Previously it was treated in the genus Pseudoanthidium Friese, 1898 (Proshchalykin and Fateryga 2017: 302) due to an incorrect synonymisation with P. lituratum (Panzer, 1801) by Warncke (1980: 161). Kasparek (2022: 168) first published high-quality illustrations of the female holotype of Icteranthidium ovasi, which allowed us to ascertain that it is surprisingly almost identical in morphology to the female lectotype of I. floripetum (Fig. 1A, C, F). Therefore, these species should be treated as conspecific with Eversmann’s name taking priority. It is also of note that the male paralectotype of I. floripetum has the same large reddish-brown maculation in upper gena behind the eye (Fig. 1B, D) as the female types of both I. floripetum and I. ovasi, while the male paratypes of I. ovasi do not have them, according to Kasparek (2022: 168).

Distribution. Russia (Urals: Orenburg Province), Turkey, Iran, and Kazakhstan (Atyrau Province) (Litman et al. 2021; Kasparek 2022).

Megachile (Chalicodoma) albocristata Smith, 1853

Fig. 2A

Notes. This name replaces the use of Megachile lefebvrei sensu Proshchalykin and Fateryga (2017: 305) and references therein. In the narrow sense, M. lefebvrei (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841) is present in North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula, and possibly in southern France (Ghisbain et al. 2023). Specimens from Russia were re-identified as M. albocristata by Fateryga and Proshchalykin (2020: 228). These species differ in the colour of the vestiture and the nature of the tergal fasciae in the female sex: in M. lefebvrei, the vestiture is predominantly grey-white and the tergal fasciae are interrupted medially; in M. albocristata, the vestiture is predominantly black, sometimes with spots of white hairs laterally on the terga (Fateryga and Proshchalykin 2020: 228; Ghisbain et al. 2023: 63). The typical form of M. albocristata occurs in Crimea, while a form from Dagestan has some traits intermediate with M. hungarica Mocsáry, 1877 (Fateryga and Proshchalykin 2020: 228). The taxonomy of this species complex, known as the lefebvrei group (M. lefebvrei, M. hungarica, M. albocristata, as well as M. lucidifrons Ferton, 1905 and M. roeweri (Alfken, 1927)), requires further investigation (Ghisbain et al. 2023: 63).

Fig. 2B

Notes. Recognised as a valid species (not as a synonym of Trachusa interrupta (Fabricius, 1781)) according to Kasparek (2020: 22). In the narrow sense, T. interrupta is a mainly Mediterranean species distributed from southern Spain and France, southern Switzerland and Austria over the Balkans to Greece and western Turkey; in south-eastern and Eastern European countries, the distribution extends to Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Ukraine (Kasparek 2020, 2022).

Distribution. Russia (south of European part, North Caucasus, Crimea), France, Albania, North Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey (Kasparek 2020, 2022).

Megachile (Chalicodoma) alborufa Friese, 1911

Distribution. First recorded for Russia (North Caucasus: Karachay-Cherkessia Republic, as Megachile pyrenaica (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841)) by Fateryga et al. (2019: 1171), but that report referred to M. alborufa (Fateryga and Proshchalykin 2020: 229); also reported as M. alborufa from Adygea and North Ossetia – Alania republics by Fateryga and Proshchalykin (2020: 229). These two species are closely related and differ in the colour of the legs, as well as the vestiture and the nature of the tergal fasciae in the female sex: Megachile alborufa has reddish legs from tibiae onwards and pale pubescence on terga 1 and 2; in M. pyrenaica, the legs are mostly black except reddish tarsi while pale pubescence is developed on terga 1–5. As there are no differences in structural morphology, M. alborufa may actually represent just a colour form or a subspecies of M. pyrenaica (Fateryga and Proshchalykin 2020). The taxonomy of this species complex requires further investigation. Megachile alborufa is known outside Russia from Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey (Fateryga and Proshchalykin 2020). In the narrow sense, M. pyrenaica is known from Western and Southern Europe, North Africa, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Israel, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan (Maharramov et al. 2021).

Species to be excluded from the Russian checklist

Hoplitis (Alcidamea) laboriosa (Smith, 1878)

Distribution. Was reported on the base of an erroneous record (based on a locality misinterpretation). The species occurs in Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China (Ghisbain et al. 2023; Müller 2023).

Hoplitis (Alcidamea) turcestanica (Dalla Torre, 1896)

Distribution. This species was earlier reported from Russia as Hoplitis caularis (Morawitz, 1875) (Proshchalykin and Fateryga 2017; Fateryga et al. 2018), which was considered a senior synonym of H. turcestanica (Ungricht et al. 2008). Then, H. turcestanica was reinstated as a valid species by Fateryga and Proshchalykin (2020: 226), who provided an additional record from the south of European part: Astrakhan Province. Although, H. turcestanica and H. caularis are indeed two very different species, the material from Crimea, reported as H. caularis, belongs not to H. turcestanica but to H. mollis (Fateryga and Ivanov in press; see also above), while specimens from the Astrakhan Province belong to an apparently undescribed species (A. Müller, personal communication). Hoplitis turcestanica is confirmed to Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan, while H. caularis is known from Kazakhstan (Müller 2023). The records of both species from Turkey, Syria, Uzbekistan, and China require confirmation, as are the records of H. turcestanica from the North Caucasus and Urals mentioned by Proshchalykin and Fateryga (2017) and Fateryga and Proshchalykin (2020).

Hoplitis (Anthocopa) taurica (Radoszkowski, 1874)

Notes. Pseudosmia taurica Radoszkowski, 1874 is considered to be a nomen dubium by Müller (2023) based on the poor description and the unavailability of the type material.

Hoplitis (Hoplitis) ravouxi (Pérez, 1902)

Distribution. The reports of this species from Crimea (Proshchalykin and Fateryga 2017; Fateryga et al. 2018) actually referred to Hoplitis carinata (Stanek, 1969) (Fateryga et al. 2019) (see above). Hoplitis ravouxi is distributed in Western, Southern, and Eastern Europe (Müller 2023).

Hoplitis (Pentadentosmia) nitidula (Morawitz, 1877)

Distribution. Was reported on the base of an apparently erroneous record (based on a locality misinterpretation). The species occurs in Armenia, Iran, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan (Ghisbain et al. 2023; Müller 2023).

Osmia (Helicosmia) cyanescens Morawitz, 1875

Distribution. Was reported on the base of an erroneous record (based on a locality misinterpretation). The species occurs in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan (Ghisbain et al. 2023; Müller 2023).

Osmia (Hemiosmia) difficilis Morawitz, 1875

Distribution. Was reported on the base of an erroneous record (based on a locality misinterpretation). The species occurs in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan (Müller 2020, 2023).

Osmia (Osmia) melanocephala Morawitz, 1875

Distribution. Was reported on the base of an erroneous record (based on a locality misinterpretation). The species occurs in Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China (Müller 2023).

Osmia (Pyrosmia) gallarum Spinola, 1808

Distribution. The reports of this species from Crimea (Proshchalykin and Fateryga 2017; Fateryga et al. 2018) actually referred to Osmia hellados van der Zanden, 1984 (Fateryga and Ivanov in press) (see above). Osmia gallarum is distributed in Western, Southern, and Eastern Europe, North Africa, and Turkey (Müller 2023).

Megachile (Pseudomegachile) farinosa Smith, 1853

Distribution. First recorded for Russia (North Caucasus: Dagestan Republic, as Megachile derasa Gerstäcker, 1869) by Morawitz (1873: 149). This record was overlooked by Proshchalykin and Fateryga (2017) (see also Fateryga et al. 2019). An additional report of this species was made by Byvaltsev et al. (2018) from Western Siberia: Altai Territory. All these records, however, referred to M. tecta (see above). Megachile farinosa is distributed in East Mediterranean (Greece, Turkey, Cyprus), Israel north of the Dead Sea, Middle East, and Iran (Dorchin and Praz 2018).

Family Apidae Latreille, 1802

Published synonymies

Anthophora (Anthophora) salviae (Panzer, 1805)

Notes. Synonymised with Anthophora crinipes Smith, 1854, which is the valid name according to Maghni et al. (2017: 5). The latter authors considered the basionym Lasius salviae Panzer, 1805 a nomen dubium (Ghisban et al. 2023: 26).

Anthophora (Paramegilla) prshewalskyi Morawitz, 1880

Notes. Synonymised with Anthophora segnis Eversmann, 1852 (not a synonym of A. podagra Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), which is the senior synonym according to Ghisban et al. (2023: 27).

Eucera (Eucera) eucnemidea Dours, 1873

Notes. Synonymised with Eucera grisea Fabricius, 1793, which is the senior synonym according to Dorchin (2023: 12).

Eucera (Pareucera) nigrita Friese, 1895

Notes. Synonymised with Eucera albofasciata Friese, 1895, which is the senior synonym according to Boustani et al. (2021: 123).

Eucera (Synhalonia) alternans (Brullé, 1832)

Notes. Eucera rufa (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), which is the junior synonym, is retained by Dorchin (2023: 23) as the valid name for this species under the principle of name stability. Eucera rufa replaces E. alternans from the 2017 checklist, and that E. alternans auctorum is referred to in present list by E. ruficollis.

Nomada obscuriceps Schwarz & Levchenko, 2017

Notes. Synonymised with Nomada mitaii Proshchalykin, 2010, which is the senior synonym according to Proshchalykin et al. (2019: 26).

Other taxonomic changes and clarifications

The following nomenclatural changes were proposed by Dorchin (2023): Tetralonia Spinola, 1838 is reestablished as genus, including Tetraloniella Ashmead, 1899 (Dorchin et al. 2018); Cubitalia Friese, 1911 is treated as subgenus of Eucera Scopoli, 1770; and Synhalonia Patton, 1879 is retained as subgenus of Eucera as in Michener (2007). Therefore, the following three species previously included in the genus Cubitalia and 14 species previously included in the genus Tetraloniella (Levchenko et al. 2017) are now transferred to the genus Eucera and Tetralonia respectively: Eucera (Cubitalia) morio Friese, 1911, E. (C.) parvicornis Mocsáry, 1878, E. (C.) tristis Morawitz, 1876, Tetralonia alticincta (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), T. dentata (Germar, 1839), T. fulvescens Giraud, 1863, T. graja (Eversmann, 1852), T. inulae Tkalců, 1979, T. julliani (Pérez, 1879), T. lyncea Mocsáry, 1879, T. mitsukurii Cockerell, 1911, T. nana Morawitz, 1873, T. pollinosa (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), T. salicariae (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), T. scabiosae (Mocsáry, 1881), T. strigata (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), and T. vicina Morawitz, 1876.

Anthophora (Pyganthophora) erschowi Fedtschenko, 1875

Notes. The type series was revised in ZISP by P. Rasmont (Ghisbain et al. 2023: 26). The specimens comprising the type series are only females, all belonging to the difficult group of Anthophora aestivalis (Panzer, 1801), in which generally only males can be reliably identified. Therefore, the name Anthophora erschowi was considered to be a species inquirenda and removed from the European (including Russian) checklists.

Apis cerana ussuriensis Ilyasov, Takahashi, Proshchalykin, Lelej & Kwon, 2019

Notes. Recognised as a separate subspecies according to Ilyasov et al. (2019: 310).

Distribution. Russia (Far East: Primorskiy and Khabarovsk territories) (Proshchalykin and Sergeev 2020).

Eucera (Eucera) pollinosa Smith, 1854

Notes. This species was previously referred to as Eucera chrysopyga Pérez, 1879 (Levchenko et al. 2017: 320), as when Eucera and Tetraloniella were treated as a single genus, Eucera pollinosa Smith became a junior homonym of E. pollinosa (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841). Now that Tetralonia is restored as a genus (which also includes Tetraloniella), E. pollinosa (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau) is moved to Tetralonia, and E. pollinosa Smith is no longer a junior homonym and becomes the senior synonym of E. chrysopyga Pérez. Eucera pollinosa Smith was made a nomen protectum by Dorchin (2023).

Bombus (Bombus) czerskianus Vogt, 1911

Notes. Recognised as a separate species (not as a subspecies of Bombus sporadicus Nylander, 1848) according to Williams (2021: 271).

Distribution. Russia (Eastern Siberia, Far East), North Korea, north-eastern China, and Mongolia (Williams 2021).

Bombus (Melanobombus) alagesianus Reinig, 1930

Notes. Recognised as a valid species (not as a synonym of Bombus keriensis Morawitz, 1887) according to Williams et al. (2020: 81).

Distribution. Russia (North Caucasus), Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, and Iran (Williams et al. 2020).

Bombus (Melanobombus) incertoides Vogt, 1911

Notes. Recognised as a valid species (not as a synonym of Bombus keriensis s. lat.) according to Williams et al. (2020: 87).

Distribution. Russia (Siberia: Tuva and Altai republics) and Mongolia (Williams et al. 2020).

Bombus (Pyrobombus) koropokkrus Sakagami & Ishikawa, 1972

Notes. Recognised as a valid species (not as a synonym of Bombus hypnorum (Linnaeus, 1802)) according to Williams et al. (2022: 62).

Distribution. Russia (Far East: Sakhalin) and Japan (Hokkaido) (Williams et al. 2022).

Bombus (Thoracobombus) mocsaryi Kriechbaumer, 1877

Notes. The taxon mocsaryi Kriechbaumer, 1877 was re-assessed as a subspecies of Bombus laesus Morawitz (1875) by Brasero et al. (2021) based on genetic and semio-chemical analyses.

Thyreus aberrans (Morawitz, 1875)

Notes. This taxon has been treated as a nomen dubium according to Ghisbain et al. (2023: 28). Records from the European part of Russia must therefore be considered to be unclear due to this taxonomic uncertainty.

Conclusions

Here we have presented an update on the knowledge of the species diversity and taxonomy of the bee fauna of Russia, considering all the advances made after the publication of the catalogue of Russian bees (Astafurova and Proshchalykin 2017; Levchenko et al. 2017; Proshchalykin 2017a; Proshchalykin et al. 2017; Proshchalykin and Astafurova 2017; Proshchalykin and Fateryga 2017) and considering material that was overlooked by that work. An updated total of 1,268 species belonging to 64 genera and six families are now recorded within Russia (Table 1, Suppl. material 1).

Total: 14 subfamilies 27 tribes 64 genera 1,268 species

After the revision of the first checklist, we report five species recently described, 45 species newly recorded since the first catalogue (including one species non-native to Russia), nine species overlooked in the previous Russian checklist, and 17 published synonymies. We provide original records for nine species previously unknown to Russia and, as original taxonomic act, we synonymise one species and exclude 14 species from the previous checklist. Numerous other taxonomic changes and clarifications are also included. The final count of species per family, subfamily, tribe and genus is available in Table 1. An updated list of Russian bees is available as Suppl. material 1.
