Sphecodes schenckii Hagens, 1882 View in CoL

Described as: Sphecodes schenckii Hagens, 1882: 217 –218. Synonyms: Sphecodes sulcicollis Pérez, 1903 : CCVIII.

Subspecies: Sphecodes schenckii caspicus Meyer, 1920: 113 –114.

Distribution. North-east Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Germany, Russia, Turkey and Iran ( Warncke 1992).

Biology. Rare species of warm localities, in most of the countries only few records. Lasioglossum discum (Smith) is supposed to be a host due to the similar distribution area, size and appearance ( Blüthgen 1934). Grozdaniċ (1971) confirmed this species as host of S. schenckii . In northern Switzerland and in Germany L. discum is missing, so there has to be one or more other hosts, probably Halictus simplex (M. Herrmann, pers. comm. and pers. obs.).
