Eucera (Synhalonia) cressa (Tkalců, 1984)

Eucera cressa (Tkalců, 1984) was described from Crete in comparison with the closely related and widespread species Eucera tricincta Erichson, 1835 . It was considered as a synonym of E. tricincta Erichson, 1835 in Ghisbain & Rosa et al. (2023), on the basis of a mention on the online Checklist of the Western Palaearctic Bees (Kuhlmann et al. 2024). However, no publication has officially established this synonymy to date. Therefore, this taxon is listed here as a valid species, awaiting further revision of the Eucera tricincta group.
