Remarks.

According to Ebmer (2014: 323) Lasioglossum debilior (Pérez, 1910) is probably a senior synonym of L. laticeps ssp. hellenicus (Blüthgen, 1938) . A. Pauly (2016), who re-examined the type, noted that the type specimens appears to be suitable. We support this opinion and consider L. debilior as a synonym of L. laticeps ssp. hellenicus .
