Epeolus cruciger (Panzer, 1799) View in CoL

Distribution: Throughout Europe ( Bogusch & Hadrava 2018).

New data: PORTUGAL: Algarve , Aljezur, Medo da Pipa, 30.ix.2018, 1♂, det. & leg. Cross.

Notes: Epeolus cruciger is probably a complex of species or races, with at least one race attacking Colletes succinctus (L.) and one race attacking Colletes marginatus Smith ( Bogusch & Hadrava 2018) . Frustratingly, both taxa were present at the Portuguese site, making identification of the host challenging, though the presence of a male at this late date might suggest C. succinctus .
