Hylaeus (Hylaeus) trochilus ( WARNCKE, 1992) – ITIS (2020).

Remarks: In the males of H. trochilus , the face is impressed transversely in a bow below the antenna bases, similar to H. kurdus . In contrast to H. kurdus , however, the scape of males is richly marked with white, its outline basally less curved and expanded, with width less than half the length of the scape, apically not flattened. The side spots run along the orbits, they are rounded at the top, not emarginate; there are also no smooth surfaces on the frons. Inappropriate preparation of the terminalia by Warncke caused the loss of sternum 7, and sternum 8 is a fragment.

Apart from the specimens of the type series from Niğde at 3000 m altitude (2 , ), no other samples were collected. We assume that it is a species especially of the high mountain regions, that has to be searched for at suitable places. It is rarely recorded from Turkey (1 province, Fig. 17.6 ) .

Distribution: Turkey: Niğde.
