Eucera (Synhalonia) mavromoustakisi (Tkalců, 1984)

(Fig. 5)

Eucera mavromoustakisi (Tkalců, 1984) was described from Cyprus in comparison with the closely related and widespread species Eucera tricincta Erichson, 1835 . Although E. mavromoustakisi (Tkalců, 1984) was listed as a synonym of E. tricincta Erichson, 1835 on the online Checklist of the Western Palaearctic Bees (Kuhlmann et al. 2024), it was retained as a valid species by Varnava et al. (2020) and no publication has officially established this synonymy to date. Therefore, this taxon is listed here as a valid species, awaiting further revision of the Eucera tricincta group.
