B i o l o g y: In the previous studies (ÖZBEK & ZANDEN 1994, 1996) and the present study, several samples were collected in forest margins and shrub lands in Antalya and Aydın. Moreover, one sample was found on costal sand dune in Mersin. Other samples were collected in different habitats, such as grassland, arable land and open areas with sparse trees and bushes. Therefore, C. decipiens lives in a wide variety of habitats. Flight season is June and July. WARNCKE (1992) mentioned Megachile nigripes SPINOLA, 1838 as the host of this species. GRACE (2010) noted M. f l avipes MAVROMOISTAKIS as a likely host. V. agnus-castus was recorded as visiting plant (ÖZBEK & ZANDEN 1994. Likewise, GRACE (2010) reported the following plant species in Cyprus: Alhagi maurorum, Trifolium sp., Medicago sp. and Linaria elatine.
