Treatment

Lasioglossum berberum ( Benoist, 1941) View in CoL

Halictus berberus Benoist, 1941: 81 . Holotype: ♂, Morocco, Dj M’Goum , 3200 m, 1–15 Sep. (MNHN). Examined (AP) ( Fig. 23 View Fig ).

Remarks

Ebmer (1976: 251; 1988: 649) considers this species as valid, but Pesenko (2007a: 41) following Warncke (1976: 94) mention it as a synonym of L. villosulum . This small species of 6 mm length is very close to L. villosulum , but is well separated by its barcode. We have examined the type and we can confirm that it differs from L. villosulum by the impunctate apical margin of the terga ( Fig. 23D View Fig ), as mentioned by Ebmer (1976: 251).
