3.1.9. Dasypoda (Megadasypoda) longigena Schletterer, 1890 View in CoL
Distribution: Dasypoda longigena was described from Anatolia (Kleinasien) by Schletterer (1890). Later it was recorded from Erzurum ( Warncke, 1973; Michez and Patiny, 2002; Michez et al., 2004a). With the present knowledge it can be seen that D. longigena is endemic to Anatolia.
Remark: Dasypoda longigena is one of the earliest bee species described from Anatolia. It was virtually extinct in Anatolia and had not been recorded for over 80 years, the first record after its description being in 1973 by Warncke (1973) and only in Erzurum. It is remarkable that in spite of intensive collections in Erzurum and neighboring provinces since the 1970s it has not been encountered; it is probably extinct or on the verge of extinction.
