Material examined: Seven females, 29 males (see Supporting Information, Table S1 for specimen data).
Distribution: Iran, Israel and Palestine, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan ( Fig. 22B View Figure 22 ).

(female visit), Cirsium turkestanicum (Regel) Petr. (female visit), Cynara scolymus L. (female visit), Erigeron canadensis L. (female and male visits), Inula sp. (male visits), Onopordum acanthium L.

(female and male visits); Tamaricaceae Tajikistan Tamarix sp. (male visits); Verbenaceae Tajikistan Verbena officinalis L. (male and female visits).
Diagnosis female: The female of P. cribratum may be distinguished from other members of this complex by the following combination of characters: punctation on terga comparatively coarse, as large or larger than punctation on mesonotum, with shiny interspaces between punctures; largest punctures on black part of scutellum equal in diameter to largest punctures on T 2 ( Fig. 17B, D, F View Figure 17 ).
The female of P. cribratum is similar to P. tenellum and P. rozeni ; for more information concerning the differentiation of these three species, see the section entitled ‘Diagnosis female’ for P. rozeni . In their zone of overlap (e.g. in Central Asia), differentiating females of P. cribratum from those of P. tenellum may be challenging.
Diagnosis male: The male of P. cribratum may be distinguished from other members of this complex by the following combination of characters: apex of coxa 3 with pronounced, flattened, round-tipped tooth, about as long as third tarsal segment is wide at apex ( Fig. 24A–B View Figure 24 ), which is unique within the species complex; gonostylus over 1.5 times wider at widest point than at base ( Fig. 23B View Figure 23 ); notch at apex of gonostylus wide and deeply U-shaped ( Fig. 23B View Figure 23 ); notch is slightly less deep than width of notch at opening; notch slopes laterally, so that interior tip of the notch is visibly wider than the exterior ( Fig. 23B View Figure 23 ); lateral comb on S5 very small, with longest teeth far shorter than maximum width of hind basitarsus ( Fig. 11F View Figure 11 ); posterior, premarginal brush on S3 with hairs unhooked at tips ( Fig. 12F View Figure 12 ); shiny, hairless zone on S3 between posterior premarginal brush of hairs and anterior zone of dense, velvety pilosity trapezoidal, without medial extension extending anteriorly along the midline of sternum ( Fig. 12F View Figure 12 ); posterior margin of S2 strongly depressed ( Fig. 13F View Figure 13 ); hairs on ventral surface of trochanter 3 dense and of even length but not velvety.
Geographic variation: In Central Asia, individuals have broad punctures that are dense but not contiguous on the vertex, thorax and terga and the integument is shiny. In specimens from the Middle East, including Israel, Jordan, Syria and eastern Turkey, punctures are smaller and mostly contiguous and the integument is less shiny (lightly reticulate), especially on the scutum and scutellum. In addition, males from Central Asia have a more elongate gonostylus with the outer apical projection cylindrical and the lateral comb of S5 nearly truncate and symmetrical apically, while Middle Eastern males have a shorter gonostylus with the outer projection conical and the lateral comb asymmetrical, not truncate. Specimens from Iran are more similar to specimens from the Middle East than to those from Central Asia, although in a single specimen the punctation on the terga is intermediate in size between the forms seen at the extreme ends of this species’ distribution.

(female visits); Lamiaceae Tenerife Cedronella canariensis (L.) Webb & Berthel. (male visits) ( Hohmann et al., 1993).
Diagnosis female: The female of P. canariense may be distinguished from other members of this complex by the following combination of characters: punctation on terga comparatively coarse, as large or larger than punctation on mesonotum, with shiny interspaces between punctures; largest punctures on black part of scutellum approximately equal in diameter to those of largest punctures on T 2; maculations on head, mesosoma and metasoma dark orange; shiny spaces between punctures on T 3 narrow, less than one-quarter of a puncture wide; hairs on inside of third basitarsus dark brown and with individual hairs mostly thicker than hairs on outside surface. Colour of maculations orange-yellow ( Fig. 25A View Figure 25 ).
Diagnosis male: The male of P. canariense may be distinguished from other members of this complex by the following combination of characters: gonostylus approximately parallel-sided and unnotched at apex ( Fig. 23C View Figure 23 ); lateral comb on S5 small, with longest teeth shorter than maximal width of hind basitarsus; posterior, premarginal brush on S3 with hairs hooked at tips; shiny, hairless zone on S3 between posterior premarginal brush of hairs and anterior zone of dense, velvety pilosity very short, about one-third of the width of the sternum, dark, chevron-shaped, without medial extension extending anteriorly along the midline of sternum; posterior margin of S2 medially emarginate, S2 otherwise covered in silvery pilosity except for a more or less hairless posterior margin. Colour of maculations orange-yellow ( Fig. 25C View Figure 25 ). Posterior margin of T 7 with deep, nearly semi-circular emargination medially ( Fig. 25E View Figure 25 ).
PSEUDOANTHIDIUM TROPICUM ( WARNCKE, 1982) View in CoL , STAT. NOV.
( FIGS 23D View Figure 23 , 25B, D, F View Figure 25 )
Anthidium lituratum tropicum Warncke, 1982: 172–173 View in CoL , ♀ ♂. Type locality: ‘ Pass E Rudan /V Minab , Bandar Abbas in 570 m, 23-V-1978, an Centaurea spec.’ (holotype ♀) ( OLML) . Paratypes: ‘ Bandar Abbas: Pass E Rudan /N Minab in 570 m, 23-V-1978, an Centaurea View in CoL spec’ (7♂, 3♀) ; ‘ Fars: Daria Namak / 27 km E Shiraz, 7-VII-1965, S’ (1♀) ( OLML) ; ‘ Fars: Persepolis in 1570 m, 16-V-1978, W’ (1♂) ( OLML) .
Material examined: Eight females, four males (see Supporting Information, Table S1 for material examined).
Distribution: Iran ( Fig. 22D View Figure 22 ).
Host-plant associations: Asteraceae Bandar Abbas Centaurea sp. ( Warncke 1982) .
Remarks: This taxon was originally described as a subspecies of P. nanum (as P. lituratum tropicum ). However, an examination of the type series indicates that this taxon is the most morphologically distinct of all the members of the P. scapulare complex, namely in its small size, its light coloration and the rounded apex of the male gonostylus, the last trait shared only with P. canariense in this species complex. Although we were unable to obtain genetic data for this taxon, we consider it morphologically divergent enough to elevate it to species status.
Diagnosis female: The female of P. tropicum may be distinguished from other members of this complex by the following combination of characters: punctation on terga comparatively fine, less wide than diameter of punctation on mesonotum; fourth antennal segment less than half as long as fifth (proportionally longer in all other taxa); metasoma brown with pale yellow maculations; comparatively small (~ 5 mm) ( Fig. 25B View Figure 25 ).
Diagnosis male: The male of P. tropicum may be distinguished from other members of this complex by the following combination of characters: very small size (≤ 5 mm), gonostylus approximately parallel-sided with apex almost square and unnotched ( Fig. 23D View Figure 23 ); lateral comb on S5 small, with longest teeth shorter than maximal width of hind basitarsus and no wider than basal comb; posterior, premarginal brush on S3 with hairs hooked at tips; posterior margin of S2 gently emarginate medially, S2 otherwise covered in dense, velvety pilosity except for a more or less hairless posterior margin.
