Osmia (Hemiosmia) chrysolepta Haeseler, 2005: 479 View in CoL . Type material: Holotype ♂, “ Tel-Aviv ” ( Israel), private collection of M. Schwarz ( Ansfelden ).

Haris) GoogleMaps .

Distribution. From eastern Libya over Egypt to the Levant ( Israel and Palestine, Jordan). To the present knowledge, the range of O. chrysolepta does not overlap with that of the more westernly distributed O. anceps .

Pollen hosts. Oligolectic on Fabaceae (Tab. 1) with strong preference for Loteae (e.g. Lotus ); additional pollen hosts are species of Genisteae and other Fabaceae tribes. Four out of 18 scopal loads analysed contained small amounts of pollen of Echium (Boraginaceae) and Zygophyllaceae , suggesting that flowers of these two plant taxa might very rarely also be exploited.

Nesting biology. Unknown.
