Literature. Mavromoustakis (1963): Listed under Osmia (Osmia) emarginata Lepeletier, 1841 .

Osmia emarginata does not occur in the south-eastern Mediterranean region ( Müller 2021), and these records are reassigned to O. mustelina . This issue was addressed by Ungricht el al. (2008), and indeed, the taxon is often confused with O. emarginata (Tkalcu, 1971) .
