Taxonomical note.

Pesenko (1986: 128) described Lasioglossum alievi from Azerbaijan and noted that this species has a black (without metallic lustre) body. However, the holotype of L. alievi has a weak metallic lustre on the head and mesoscutum (see figs 59 c, d in Astafurova and Proshchalykin 2018: 54). A. W. Ebmer examined the type in 1988 and labelled the specimen as Lasioglossum euxinicum ssp. euxinicum , but did not publish the synonymy. Although Pesenko (2007) considered this species to be valid, we have supported Ebmer’s opinion and Lasioglossum alievi Pesenko, 1986 is established here as a junior synonym for L. euxinicum Ebmer, 1972 .
