Sphecodes miniatus Hagens, 1882 View in CoL

Described as: Sphecodes miniatus Hagens, 1882: 223 . Synonyms: Sphecodes dimidiatus Hagens, 1882: 224 .

Sphecodes murithianus Frey-Gessner, 1903: 100 . Sphecodes pilicornis Meyer, 1922: 170 .

Distribution. Most of Europe (north to south Sweden), present in southern England; rare in southern Europe (confirmed only in Pelopponnese), absent from North Africa ( Warncke 1992).

Biology. Common species especially of warmer and sandy sites. Westrich (1989) mentioned Lasioglossum nitidiusculum as confirmed host and Lasioglossum morio as likely host, Vegter (1993) L. sexstrigatum and Bogusch (2003) L. politum Schenck. We also observed females of this species in association of L. pauxillum and L. punctatissimum . However, females of S. miniatus are similar to S. marginatus , and other small Sphecodes , so study of the specialization in the field is difficult.
