Prosopis albipes , 1924

Feeds on

Myrtaceae : Callistemon sp. (alien) (new record).

Alien range: Hawaii.

Historical data in New Caledonia: Voh, near the cemetary, 8 Dec 2022, one male and three females ( Zakardjian et al. 2023b).

Notes

Likely a new alien species, potentially introduced via the Vavouto industrial harbour facility. We nevertheless cannot exclude that one of the three below-mentioned Hylaeus morphospecies ( Donovan et al. 2013) may also fit with H. albonitens .

Occurrence status: data deficient.
