Bombus soroeensis lectitatus
Kruseman, 1958
The nominal form presents yellow and black bands with a white tail. Individuals with a pronounced ferruginous colouring on T4 have been regarded here as the subspecies
lectitatus
(
Table 2
), considered until recently as the only one spread in the Pyrenees (Rasmont & Iserbyt 2013). This pronounced ferruginous colouring of T4 is constant and differs from that in
B. s. ancaricus
or
B. s. proteus
, but further genetic research would be desirable at the subspecies level. This subspecies has been found only in central and eastern Pyrenees, between
1532 and
2125
