Epeolus transitorius Eversmann, 1852 View in CoL

Epeolus transitorius Eversmann, 1852: 102 View in CoL , [sex not indicated in publication] (syntypes: ♀♀

, “in provincia Orenburgensi australiore, circa Indersk, in promontoriis Uralensibus australibus et in terris transuralensibus”, IZKP).

CURRENT STATUS. Valid species (Bogusch & Hadrava 2018).

DISTRIBUTION. Russia: south of European part, Ural; Europe, Georgia, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan.

REMARK. The species was described from the specimens without sex definition collected in several localities of Ural and trans-Ural territoties of Russia and Kazakhstan (“in provincia

Orenburgensi australiore, circa Indersk, in promontoriis Uralensibus australibus et in terris transuralensibus”). There are only two females in IZKP from these localities (“Spask”

[Spasskoe, Orenburg Prov., Russia] and “Camp. Kirg.” [ Kazakhstan]), which correspond to the original description of Eversmann. But these specimens are in very poor condition

(specimen labeled “Spask” without metasoma and specimen labeled “Camp. Kirg.” without antennae), and requiered additional revision.
