Remarks.

Halictus schelkovnikovi Kokujev, 1913 was described from Azerbaijan and this name was synonymized with Lasioglossum anellum (Vachal, 1905) by Blüthgen (1931: 212). Information on type specimens of Halictus schelkovnikovi Kokujev, 1913 was missing from Astafurova and Poshchalykin (2018). This specimen was recently found in the Halictidae collection of the ZISP and is designated here as lectotype (Fig. 1 A – D).
