Sphecodes puncticeps View in CoL var. cretanus Strand, 1921: 305 .

Distribution. Europe north to south Finland and Sweden, Asia, North Africa to Egypt, Israel ( Westrich 1989, Warncke 1992), Iran.

Biology. Species of warm sandy biotopes, in south Europe quite common, in central Europe local but in sandy localities usually abundant. The only confirmed host is Lasioglossum villosulum , published by Alfken (1913). Bischoff (1927) put L. brevicorne (Schenck) as likely host. We confirm both hosts and have observed S. puncticeps also in an association with L. politum and L. sabulosum (Warncke) , but with no evidence.
