Abstract Pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystems globally, ensuring the seed production of most flowering plants. They are threatened by global changes and knowledge their distribution at national continental levels is needed to implement efficient conservation actions, but this still fragmented and/or difficult access. As step forward, we provide an updated list around 3000 European bee hoverfly species, reflecting current distributional status level (in form present, absent,...
Updated checklist of bees mainland France (Hymenoptera: Apocrita: Apoidea). - The from metropolitan is presented here, with an update the previous published in 1995 which included 865 species. A total 150 species have been added to this checklist, 114 thanks new distributional records and 36 due their taxonomic status. In addition, 32 removed list, along 12 recently reported French territory whose presence has either refuted, deemed doubtful, or requires confirmation. This work results a...
Abstract The Palaearctic complex of anthidiine bees closely related to Pseudoanthidium scapulare has long been a source unresolved taxonomic and systematic issues. Until now, the number species in their geographical distributions were largely unclear, thus complicating compilation accurate checklists hindering conservation efforts. In order address these issues, we use morphology mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences, combined with thorough examination relevant...
In 2008, a new species for the French bee fauna was recorded in Allauch near Marseille: giant resin bee, Megachile sculpturalis (Smith, 1853). This first European record of this that is native to East Asia. To our knowledge, it introduced Europe. Here, we provide an overview current distribution M. France and describe history its range expansion. Besides own observations, information compiled from literature Internet websites, by contacting naturalist networks. We collected total 117 records...
Corsica stands as one of the largest Mediterranean Islands and has been exploration ground for renowned entomologists like Charles Ferton. However, no synthesis on Corsican bees published so far. To fill this gap in knowledge, we propose an overview megachilid bee fauna island based fieldwork, a thorough examination material housed at Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN, Paris), data compilation from various collections comprehensive review existing literature. We reviewed 5,886...
Islands are areas where biodiversity conservation is of the utmost importance and particularly challenging due to isolation vulnerability animal plant populations. The coastline Brittany includes a large number islands, which vary greatly in size, distance from mainland, landscape composition climate. Until recently, virtually nothing was known about bees on these but studies have been carried out recent years, allowing an initial assessment be made. aim this article provide overview bee...
Eucera (Cubitalia) breviceps (FRIESE, 1911), hitherto only known from Turkey and Syria, was discovered in the southern part of Massif Central (France), “Grands Causses” area, a few years ago. It has been found to be distributed throughout it, also present French Alps Italy (Valle d’Aosta, Abruzzo) as well southwestern Bulgaria northern Greece. Our article presents corresponding data, originated field work examination material collections, gives new data for collection Oberösterreichisches...
A new osmiine bee species, Hoplitis (Hoplitis) onosmaevae sp. nov. (Megachilidae), is described. So far, this species exclusively known from the Mercantour National Park in southwestern French Alps and mountainous ranges Turkey northern Iraq, two areas separated by at least 2000 km. Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial nuclear genes revealed that H. closely related to adunca (Panzer, 1798), benoisti (Alfken, 1935) manicata (Morice, 1901). presumably narrowly oligolectic harvests...
In the context of global pollinator decline, little is known about protection status and ecology many species. This lack knowledge particularly important for Mediterranean protected areas that harbor diverse communities are subject to considerable anthropogenic pressures. Calanques National Park (85 km2), which located near Marseille (France), dominated by low-vegetation habitats, such as phrygana scrublands. These habitats offer favorable conditions species due amount floral resources....
Melitta seitzi Alfken, 1927, a new melittid bee to the French fauna (Hymenoptera, Melittidae). (Melittidae), species previously known only in Spain, was found 2022 southeast France as part of project improve knowledge wild pollinators Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon. Additional surveys carried out 2023 revealed that females forage locally on flowers Lotus dorycnium L. (Fabaceae). An analysis assemblages observed at same time M. leads us suspect possible association with some cuckoo-bees...
Report of the catches made by European bee determination training (COST Super-B Project) in Calanques National Park.
On the presence of Andrena binominata Smith, 1853 (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae) and Nomada duplex 1854 Apidae) in France. - The bees (Carandrena) his supposed cuckoo are reported from surroundings Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales, France) for first time some observations made on field 2010 presented. Furthermore, geographic distribution both species is synthesized illustrated with a map. new data also discussed an emphasis conservation biology.
Hoplitis lithodorae Müller 2012 (Apoidea - Megachilidae Osmiini) in France. 2012, an osmiine bee species recently described from Spain, has been discovered southern Its known localities France are listed here, as briefly discussed its distribution, biology and ecology. In order to improve our knowledge of this about fascinating genus, some indications perform identifications finally presented.
Preliminary list of the bees Franche-Comté region (Hymenoptera, Anthophila). - This work synthesizes knowledge Hymenoptera Anthophila our region, with aim to establish first species assess regional biodiversity. Begun in 2016, it summarizes historical data contained collections Besançon Natural History Muséum, and extends other obtained throughout decades by multiple naturalist associations (OPIE-FC, CBNFC-ORI, CEN-FC, Réserves Naturelles…), educational institutions (LEGTA de Mancy et...
The spectacular decline in pollinators and their prominent role pollination of natural cultivated plants has stimulated research on pollinating insects. Over the last ten years, many ecological researches have been carried out bees, often generating a large volume specimen capture increasing importance entomological collections. Here we present bee collection IMBE laboratory (Marseille, France), after years study plant-pollinator networks. We provide distribution data 2180 specimens...

First data about Osmia (Pyrosmia) nana Morawitz 1874 (Apoidea - Megachilidae Osmiini) in Metropolitan France. MORAWITZ is recorded for the first time
Le genre Prosopigastra Costa, 1867, n'était connu jusqu'à présent du Midi de la France que par quelques femelles d'identification spécifique douteuse. La découverte d'un mâle en juin 2009, près Chateaurenard (Bouches-du-Rhône), a permis comparer ses caractères morphologiques à ceux des espèces connues l'ouest bassin méditerranéen. L'étude ponctuation corps et surtout conformation l'aedeagus montrent sans aucun doute ce appartient l'espèce P. orientalis Beaumont, 1947. Les rares précédemment...
