Stylops borcherti Luna de Carvalho, 1974 View in CoL , stat. restit.

Stylops borcherti Luna de Carvalho, 1974: 349 View in CoL , F. Type locality: Spain, Madrid, Alcalá de Henares.

Host. Andrena (Melandrena) albopunctata (Rossi, 1792) ( LUNA DE CARVALHO 1974) .

Note. This name is possibly a synonym, but it is unclear whether it belongs to S. melittae or S. ater , both known from the subgenus Melandrena in Europe. The latter species was used for comparison to S. borcherti by the original author, but we expect rather synonymy with S. melittae because S. melittae is known to occur in Spain, whereas S. ater is not ( LUNA DE CARVALHO 1974). No DNA sequence is known for Stylops from this host species. The status of this species is restituted for the time being until its status is clarified using integrative taxonomy or from the study of the type material.
