Sphecodes zangherii Noskiewicz, 1931

Described as: Sphecodes zangherii Noskiewicz, 1931: 139 . No synonyms.

Distribution. The distribution is poorly known due the taxonomical problems with this species in the past. Warncke (1992) suggested wide distribution in south and central Europe, from France to Turkey and north to Germany and Czech Republic. However, we examined large part of Warncke’s material and found only few specimens from the Alps in France and Switzerland, north and central Italy and mountains in Greece and Turkey. All other specimens of S. zangherii determined by Warncke were missidentified S. croaticus .

Biology. Rare species of warmer localities in mountains, but sometimes also in low altitudes. Details of its biology are unknown.
