Amegilla (Zebramegilla) talaris (Pérez, 1895)

The species was previously considered conspecific with Amegilla albigena (Lepeletier, 1841) by some authors (but not by Maurits Lieftinck or Donald Baker), and a careful revision of material from both taxa confirms that they are two distinct species. The type material has been examined (MNHN) and genetic data generated (Wood et al. 2024); Amegilla talaris will be treated in detail in an upcoming work focused on Amegilla (Rasmont & Wood, in prep).

Distribution. Portugal, Spain and France. Outside of Europe, known from North Africa.
