Colletes kaline Kuhlmann & Proshchalykin sp. nov. ( Figs 5 View FIGURE 5 a–e)
Diagnosis. Colletes kaline is closely related to C. pallipes . With the latter and the females of C. rubripes and C. skorikowi , both from the C. squamosus -group, C. kaline shares the conspicuously raised clypeus ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 c). However, C. kaline differs from these three species by its metasomal terga that are completely and densely covered with short appressed hairs hiding the sculpture of the terga ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 a, e) while in the other species the discs of T2 – T6 are at least medially narrowly hairless.
Description. Female. Bl = 10.0–11.0 mm. Head. Head wider than long. Integument black except part of mandible, apical part of malar area, labrum and part of clypeus dark reddish-brown. Face except clypeus densely covered with long, whitish-grey, erect hairs ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 c–d). Clypeus distinctly raised, convex and with a shallow longitudinal median depression, supraclypeal area triangular and convex in profile. Clypeus finely and scattered punctate (i = 3–4d), in median depression slightly coarser and denser (i = 1d); surface between punctures smooth and shiny ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 d). Malar area medially about ½ as long as width of mandible base, partly finely punctate. Antenna black, ventrally bright yellowish-brown. Mesosoma. Integument black. Mesoscutal disc impunctate, smooth and shiny. Scutellum anteriorly impunctate with more dense punctation apically, surface smooth and shiny ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 b). Mesoscutum, mesepisternum and propodeum covered with greyish to yellowish-white, erect hairs ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 a, b). Wings. Very slightly yellowish; wing venation and stigma light yellowish-brown. Legs. Integument light to dark reddish-brown; tarsi partly yellowish-brown. Vestiture whitish to greyish, scopa white. Metasoma. Integument black to dark reddish-brown, depressed apical tergal margins yellowish translucent ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 e). Terga densely covered with short, appressed white to yellowish-white hairs; on T1 anteriorly with a few long, erect white hairs; apical tergal hair band moderately wide and often indistinguishable from the pilosity of the discs ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 a, e). Terga densely and very finely punctate (i <d), between punctures smooth and shiny ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 e).
Male. Unknown.
Type material (4 specimens). Holotype, female, Turkmenistan: Lebap Prov., Repetek (63°10'E 38°34'N), 24.VI.1937, Yu. Kostylev (ZMMU).
Paratype: 1 ♀, same dates as holotype (RCMK); 2 ♀, Turkmenistan: Repetek (63°10'E 38°34'N), 13.– 18.V.1977, V. Kaplin (IBSS, RCMK).
Etymology. The name highlights the fact that in this species only the female is known. In Masematte “ Kaline ” means “girl” and is here used as a noun in apposition. Masematte is a regional sociolect or social dialect that was exclusively used in the poorer urban quarters of the city of Münster (NW Germany). It belongs to Rotwelsch which is a secret language of thieves, beggars and hustlers (Thieves´cant or Rogues´cant) primarily spoken in parts of Germany and Switzerland.
General distribution. Only known from the type locality in Turkmenistan.
Floral hosts. unknown.
