Remarks: The taxonomy of the Hylaeus brevicornis group is still difficult and not finally clarified. However, Warncke’s concept of a single polymorphic species has been refuted by recent molecular genetic findings. We treat here the taxa H. acer , H. brevicornis , H. gredleri , H. imparilis , H. intermedius , H. kahri and H. punctus on the basis of morphological characters as independent species.

The species is widespread throughout the country (31 provinces) and very common. The flight season runs from the end of June to almost the end of August.

Distribution: Palaearctic: North Africa ( Morocco), Europe, South Siberia, Kazakhstan. In Turkey: Adana, Amasya, Ankara, Antalya, Bursa, Denizli, Hatay, İstanbul, İzmir, Kastamonu, Kayseri, Konya, Kütahya, Mersin, Muğla, Nevşehir, Şanlıurfa, Tekirdağ, Trabzon ( WARNCKE 1972); Erzurum ( ÖZBEK 1977). The records from the following 12 provinces are new: Ardahan, Artvin, Balıkesir, Bingöl, Bolu, Denizli, Erzincan, Kayseri, Muş, Nevşehir, Sivas, Van.
