All Material Examined determined by Müller A.

Genus Chelostoma Latreille, 1809

10 species.

Bees of this genus were found to have floral preferences restricted to one family or genus, especially Brassicaceae , Campanulaceae and Ranunculaceae ( Sedivy et al. 2008) . Very few flower records are available in our listed records below, but there seems to be a preference for Campanulaceae and Asteraceae .
