Halictus smaragdulus Form C View in CoL in Pauly & Rassel 1982: 144.

Diagnosis. The male of S. submediterranea differs from that of S. smaragdula and S. phryganica by the "boomerang-shaped" underplate of the large projection of the gonocoxite ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ). It differs from S. orientana by the longer, not so thick and less pubescent small projection of the gonocoxite ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 , 24 View FIGURE 24 e). From S. gemmella it differs by the narrower distal plate of the large projection of the gonocoxite (length/width = 2.46) ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ).

Females of S. submediterranea cannot be distinguished from the other species of the S. smaragdula complex by morphological characters. However, female specimens collected in Central Europe belong to this species.

Description. Male and female as described for S. smaragdula except as follows: underplate of large projection of male gonocoxite boomerang-shaped, distal part of plate narrow. Small projection moderately thin, as long as large projection, with few setae at apex. Fourth antennal segment of the male moderately short (length/width = 1.32).

Variations. In Central Europe the head of both sexes is often shorter and its punctation is stronger than in other regions.

Distribution. Central Europe. It occurs from central Spain to southern Germany and the Danubian valley, to the East in northern Iran ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 ).

Host plants. Specimens of this species have been collected on Apiaceae , Asteraceae and some other families of plants: Ammi majus L., Anthriscus sp., Daucus carota L., Eryngium campestre L., Falcaria vulgaris Bernh. , Torilis sp. ( Apiaceae ), Anthemis arvensis L., Centaurea cyanus L., Centaurea jacea L., Crepis sp., Hieracium sp., Inula helenium L., Leucanthemum vulgare Lam. , Picris echioides L. ( Asteraceae ), Scabiosa atropurpurea L. (" Dipsacaceae ", now Caprifoliaceae ), Origanum vulgare L. ( Lamiaceae ), Malva sylvestris L. ( Malvaceae ), Trifolium repens L. ( Fabaceae ), Scilla autumnalis L. ( Liliaceae ), Plantago lanceolata L. ( Plantaginaceae ).

Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the submediterranean distribution of this species.

Comments. This species is found in Central Europe. Specimens from Iran have been barcoded and shared the same barcode as the Central European specimens. Identification of specimens from Turkey and Sardinia need to be confirmed by barcoding. Specimens from NE Turkey differ by having a larger "boomerang-shaped" underplate of the large projection of the gonocoxite and they may constitute a subspecies or another cryptic species. They were not been included in the type series.

We were able to examine a few specimens of S. submediterranea and S. orientana from the large islands of Sardinia and Sicily. Because no fresh specimens were available for barcoding, we tentatively used the morphology of the small projection of the gonocoxite to include the specimens from Sardinia in S. submediterranea and one specimen from Sicily in S. orientana .
