Notes. Distances between DNA barcode sequences of Stylops from the subgenus Andrena and the other host subgenera are 8–17 % in the West Palaearctic Region ( JŮZOVÁ et al. 2015). Stylops praecocis , which also parasitizes bees of the subgenus Andrena , seems to be very closely related and their DNA barcode sequences differ only 1 % in base composition. However, phylogenetic study suggests two distinct Stylops clades for early spring and late spring Andrena bee hosts ( JŮZOVÁ et al. 2015). In addition, significant morphological differences were found in first instars from A. fulva (likely S. nevinsoni ) and A. praecox (likely S. praecocis ) ( BORCHERT 1963). For these reasons, we decided to assign both names to valid species; however, more research is needed in this problem.
