CORRECTIONS

According to the recent taxonomic changes, Anthidiellum (Anthidiellum) breviusculum (Pérez, 1890) , reported previously from Azerbaijan by Fateryga et al. (2020), should be corrected to A. (A.) troodicum Mavromoustakis, 1949 (see Kasparek, 2022), Anthidium (Anthidium) spiniventre Friese, 1899 , reported previously by Fateryga et al. (2020), should be corrected to A. (A.) melanopygum Friese, 1917 (see Kasparek, 2022), and Megachile (Eutricharaea) pilidens Alfken, 1924 , reported previously by Maharramov et al. (2021) should be corrected to M. (E.) argentata (Fabricius, 1793) (see Praz & Bénon, 2023).

Anthidium (Anthidium) gussakovskiji Mavromoustakis, 1939 reported by Fateryga et al. (2020) was a misidentification; this species should be excluded from the fauna of Azerbaijan. The specimen misidentified as A. gussakovskiji and illustrated by Fateryga et al. (2020) may belong to an undescribed species. The characters of the true A. gussakovskiji are illustrated well in Kasparek (2022).
