Colletes latipes Friese 1915: 266, 268, 277–278, ♂ lectotype[designated by Kuhlmann, 1998] (type locality: “NO.-Afrika, Abessinien, Harrar”) (ZMHB, examined). New records( 6 specimens). ETHIOPIA: 1 ♀, 2 ♂, Bonga, Bachtal, E36°27′08′′ N07°14′28′′, 2620 m, 7.xii.2014, H.-J. Flügel, on Lotuscf. discolorE. Mey( PCHF, RCMK); 1 ♀, Bonga, Boka-Forest, Saum+ Lichtung, E36°22′29′′ N07°18′05′′, 2439 m, 11.xii.2014, H.-J. Flügel( RCMK); 1 ♂, Harrar, [ E42°07′ N09°18′], 1908, Kristensen( NHMW); 1 ♂, idem, 1911, Kristensen( NHMW).
Remarks.The male collected in 1911 by Kristensen in Harrar is labeled exactly like the typematerial housed in the museums in Berlinand Frankfurt ( Kuhlmann 1998) and presumably belongs to the original typeseries (see Kuhlmann 2018). General distribution.The species is apparently endemic to the highlands of Ethiopia.
