Chelostoma florisomne View in CoL species group

The two representatives of the Chelostoma florisomne species group are characterised in both sexes by the completely dull propodeum, which they have in common with C. carinulum . Diagnostic characters of the females are the clypeal projection(s) and the plumose metasomal scopa. Diagnostic characters of the males are the serrate antennae and the presence of a dense tuft of short whitish to yellowish hairs on the lowermost part of the genal area. One species is oligolectic on Ranunculus ( Ranunculaceae ), while the second species additionally exploits Helianthemum ( Cistaceae ).
