Notes

These records were communicated to us by Christophe Praz. Anthidiellum breviusculum s.l. is split by Kasparek et al. (2023) into three species, A. breviusculum s.s. from Iberia and France, A. africanum Kasparek, 2023 from the Maghreb and A. troodicum (Mavromoustakis, 1949) which ranges from the Aegean through Anatolia and the Levant to Iran. A. breviusculum is here first reported from Italy. Its occurrence close to the French border is not unexpected, given its presence in the Var and Roia drainages just across the border ( Warncke 1980, Schmid-Egger 2011).
