Remarks: Eleven provinces are newly added to the distribution area of H. rugicollis . The specimens were found in various habitats, mostly in open areas at altitudes of 450–2500 m. In general, the distribution of this species is limited to eastern and central Anatolia. The records show that it is more common in mountain areas. WARNCKE (1981) recorded H. rugicollis at 3800 m in Iran. The flight time is from May to the end of August.Some of the samples were collected from flowers of Melilotus officinalis and Onobrychis viciifolia . ÖZBEK (2011) counted H. rugicollis among the pollinating bees of O. viciifolia in Erzurum. It is frequently recorded in Turkey (18 provinces).

Distribution: South-eastern Europe, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Central Asia, Lebanon, Israel, Turkey ( DATHE & PROSHCHALYKIN 2018).
