Megachilidae View in CoL View at ENA
Osmia (Osmia) tricornis (Latreille 1811)
Previous Reports: Alfken (1929)
Distribution: West Mediterranean Basin, Corsica, and Sardinia.
Osmia tricornis has often been confounded with closely related O. kohlii , which occurs in Malta and Sicily. However, these two species show an allopatric distribution ( Müller, 2015).
Megachile argentata (Fabricius, 1793)
Previous Reports: Valletta (1971)
Distribution: Algeria, Hungary
The species M. argentata has often been confounded with Megachile leachella (Curtis, 1828) ( Schwarz and Gusenleitner 2011) , but the latter has not been recorded from the Maltese Islands. M. leachella is present in Continental Europe and North Africa.
