Dasypoda (Heterodasypoda) radchenkoi Ghisbain & Wood, 2023

(Fig. 14)

Dasypoda (Heterodasypoda) radchenkoi Ghisbain & Wood, 2023 in Ghisbain et al. 2023: 29. Holotype ♀; Spain: Málaga, Gaucín, Gaucín to Puerto del Hacho, 1 Jun 2021, leg. T.J. Wood (OÖLM).

Distribution. Limestone mountains of southern Spain, presumably endemic (Ghisbain et al. 2023).

Notes. The morphological features of Dasypoda radchenkoi Ghisbain & Wood, 2023 are typical of those of all other west-Palearctic Heterodasypoda species sensu Michez et al. (2004) (along with the additions of Radchenko 2017, Ghisbain et al. 2021b, and Ghisbain et al. 2023). The taxon is near cryptic with the Iberian pantaloon bee Dasypoda (Heterodasypoda) morotei Quilis, 1928 . Females can be separated by the sculpture of the propodeum (with basal ridges in D. radchenkoi and without in D. morotei) and by the color of the tibial scopa (fully orange in D. radchenkoi whilst orange and brown in D. morotei), but males remain unidentifiable to date based on morphological characters. COI barcodes unambiguously allow the separation of both species.
