Hylaeus (Patagiata) cervinus ( WARNCKE, 1992) – ITIS (2020).

Remarks: WARNCKE (1992) described H. cervinus from Erzurum (loc. typ.) and Kars. Later DATHE (2000) redescribed this species and added another specimen from Adana. Despite years of intensive collecting, this species unfortunately could not been found again in these provinces, or anywhere else in the country. However, based on the few available data, it cannot be said whether the species is threatened or extinct. From Turkey, it is only sparsely known (3 provinces).

Distribution: Turkey: Adana, Erzurum, Kars ( WARNCKE 1992; DATHE 2000: 172). The allocation of a single female from Iran to this taxon is questionable ( WARNCKE 1992: 794).
