Oligolectic on Asteraceae (based on 23 pollen loads from 15 different localities in Israel and Jordan and on field observations). The species exhibits a near exclusive preference for Cichorioideae and Asteroideae as pollen hosts: 17 pollen loads exclusively consisted of pollen of Cichorioideae (n = 11) or Asteroideae (n = 6), while six were mixed loads of pollen of both subfamilies. One load contained a substantial amount of pollen of Carduoideae beside pollen of Cichorioideae and Asteroideae, suggesting that Carduoideae are occasionally also exploited. Flower records: Andryala spec., Crepis aculeata, C. aspera, Anthemis spec., Chrysanthemum coronarium, Senecio vernalis (label records).</p><p>Nesting biology. The nests are built in empty snail shells of small to medium size with a diameter of 13–25 mm (Mavromoustakis 1948; A. Müller unpublished data). Twenty-five nests from Jordan contained one (n = 2), two (n = 9) or three (n = 14) brood cells. The brood cells are separated from each other by one-layered partitions consisting of leaf pulp. An additional wall of leaf pulp seals the shell at or shortly behind its opening. Similar to O. spinulosa, the nests are not sealed against their rear end with a basal wall and the outermost cell partition is distinctly more robust than all the other cell partitions and the nest plug, probably acting as a barrier against parasites and predators. In contrast to O. spinulosa, the shells are never turned after they have been sealed.</p><p>Note. Osmia carbo was treated by Zanden (1994) as a subspecies of O. pinguis Pérez 1895 . As the distribution areas of the two taxa are widely separated and the morphological differences are substantial (see Fig. 11–15 and key to species), O. pinguis carbo is considered here to be a species of its own, i.e. O. carbo (Zanden 1994), stat. nov.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFA7884847D82BDFE5860D8F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Osmia centaureae is in both sexes very similar to O. spinigera (Fig. 16). In contrast to the latter species, its preoccipital margin is not distinctly raised (Fig. 18), the inner margin of the apicalmost part of the fore tibial spur is usually slightly convex rather than concave (Fig. 20), the antenna is partly reddish-brown to orange in its apical half rather than uniformly dark (Fig. 16) and the apical margins of terga 1–2 are often more or less reddish-brown rather than entirely black. In addition, the female of O. centaureae differs from O. spinigera by the colour of the scopa and the pilosity of vertex, scutum and scutellum, which is yellowish-white even in fresh specimens rather than yellowish-red to yellowish-brown (Fig. 16). The male of O. centaureae lacks the dense tuft of hairs directed alongside the apicalmost part of the gonoforceps typical of O. spinigera (Fig. 24) and the indistinct and shallow punctation of the shagreened basal part of tergum 6 is almost imperceivable (Fig. 22) and thus even weaker than in O. spinigera .</p><p>Description. FEMALE: Body length 7.5–9 mm. Head: Head as long as wide. Distance between lateral ocellus and preoccipital margin 2.5–2.75x as long as ocellar diameter. Second segment of labial palpus about 2.5x as long as first segment. Maximal width of genal area about 0.6x as long as maximal width of compound eye. Mandible three-toothed. Preoccipital margin sharp but not distinctly raised (Fig. 18). Punctation of clypeus and supraclypeal area very dense without distinct interspaces; apical third of clypeus with very small punctures, which are about one third as large as the punctures on the basal two thirds of the clypeus and about half as large as the punctures on the supraclypeal area. Face covered with white pilosity, which is rather dense and long on frons, paraocular area and posterior margin of vertex but only sparse and usually short on clypeus, supraclypeal area and vertex. Anterior side of antennal segments 7–11(12) usually more or less reddish-brown (Fig. 16). Mesosoma: Axilla spined. Posterior margin of scutellum flattened, reaching in profile well beyond metanotum. Punctation of scutum and scutellum very dense with interspaces usually not exceeding the diameter of half a puncture except for the lateral part of the scutum where the punctation is often more scattered. Punctation of mesepisternum very dense without distinct interspaces. Scutum moderately densely and scutellum very densely haired, longest hairs on scutum about 5x as long as the diameter of one puncture. Pilosity of mesepisternum long and rather dense, partly hiding the sculpture of the integument. Pilosity of scutum and scutellum yellowish-white, of mesepisternum white (Fig. 16). Tegula dark reddish-brown to black. Inner margin of apicalmost part of fore tibial spur slightly convex (Fig. 20). Metasoma: Punctation of terga 1–3 very dense with interspaces rarely reaching the diameter of one puncture, of terga 4–6 even denser with interspaces not exceeding the diameter of half a puncture. Apical margins of terga impunctate and often more or less reddish-brown. Terga 1–6 with white apical hair bands, which are medially interrupted on tergum 1 and often also on tergum 2 (Fig. 16). Scopa yellowish-white (Fig. 16).</p><p>MALE: Body length 7–9.5 mm. Head: Head about 0.9x long as wide. Distance between lateral ocellus and preoccipital margin 2.6–2.9x as long as ocellar diameter. Second segment of labial palpus about 2.6x as long as first segment. Maximal width of genal area about 0.5x as long as maximal width of compound eye. Mandible twotoothed. Preoccipital margin sharp but not distinctly raised. Frons, paraocular area, supraclypeal area and clypeus covered with dense white pilosity. Antennal segments (5)6–13 more or less yellowish-brown to orange. Mesosoma: Axilla spined. Posterior margin of scutellum flattened, reaching in profile well beyond metanotum. Punctation of scutum, scutellum and mesepisternum as in the female. Scutum and scutellum covered with dense greyish-white pilosity. Pilosity of mesepisternum long, dense and white. Tegula dark reddish-brown to black. Inner margin of apicalmost part of fore tibial spur straight to slightly convex. Metasoma: Punctation of terga 1–5 very dense with interspaces rarely reaching the diameter of one puncture. Tergum 6 basally densely shagreened and with very weak and almost imperceivable punctation (Fig. 22). Preapical margin of tergum 6 with long spines (Fig. 22). Tergum 7 with single median tooth (Fig. 22). Apical margins of terga 1-5 impunctate and usually more or less reddish-brown, often very weakly bent upwards. Terga 1–5 with white apical hair bands, which are medially interrupted on tergum 1 and often also on tergum 2. Sternum 1 with long bifurcated spine (Fig. 17). Sternum 2 with preapical transverse swelling (Fig. 17). Apical margin of sternum 4 medially very slightly emarginated (Fig. 17). Apical margin of sternum 5 medially with wide and rather deep emargination, which is densely beset with yellowish hairs (Fig. 17). Sternum 6 distinctly concave, its apical margin evenly rounded (Fig.17). Punctation of sterna 2–4 moderately dense, interspaces only rarely exceeding the diameter of two punctures (Fig. 17). Apical margins of sterna 2-4 beset with whitish hairs, which are laterally longer and denser than medially (Fig. 17). Apical third of gonoforceps with numerous erect white hairs (Fig. 24).</p><p>Distribution. Known only from a restricted area, which extends from the southeastern border of the Dead Sea in Jordan over the Jordan Valley to northernmost Israel. At five localities in Israel and Jordan, O. centaureae was collected together with O. spinigera on the same day indicating syntopic occurrence of these two closely related species within the distribution range of O. centaureae .</p><p>Pollen hosts. Oligolectic on Asteraceae (based on 28 pollen loads from 9 different localities in Israel and Jordan and on field observations). Twenty-six pollen loads were pure loads of Centaurea pollen, while the other two were mixed loads of Centaurea and thistle pollen, suggesting that O. centaureae probably restricts pollen harvesting to the subfamily Carduoideae.</p><p>Nesting biology. Unknown.</p><p>Etymology: The specific name refers to the species’ most important pollen host, Centaurea ( Asteraceae, Carduoideae).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFA5884947D82F26E4770980	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Western and southern Spain, Maghreb (Morocco, Tunisia).</p><p>Pollen hosts. Polylectic with a strong preference for Cistaceae (e.g. Helianthemum), additional pollen sources include Brassicaceae, Asteraceae ( Asteroideae, Cichorioideae), Echium (Boraginaceae) and Lamiaceae (based on 13 pollen loads from six different localities in Spain and Morocco). Pollen of Cistaceae constituted 93.6% of the total pollen grain volume and was recorded in all pollen loads, seven of which were pure Cistaceae pollen loads, indicating a very high importance of the flowers of Cistaceae as host plants. Interestingly, the scopal hairs of O. fallax are straight and apically spatulate rather than wavy and apically button-like as in all the other O. ( Hoplosmia) species, which are most probably all specialized on Asteraceae . This deviating scopal hair shape might be an adaptation to the need of transporting pollen of different sizes and morphologies or might reflect the relaxed selection for wavy hairs to uptake or transport Asteraceae pollen. Furthermore, in both sexes of O. fallax the first and the second segment of the labial palpus are of roughly the same length, which is in sharp contrast to all the other O. ( Hoplosmia) species, where the first segment is distinctly shorter than the second. This difference might be due to different morphological requirements to suck nectar from the host plants of O. fallax and Asteraceae, respectively.</p><p>Nesting biology. The nests are built in empty snail shells (e.g. Sphincterochila candidissima) and contain 1–4 brood cells per shell (Moreno-Rueda et al. 2008; J. Ortiz-Sanchez personal communication). In southeastern Spain, O. fallax and the cleptoparasitic megachilid bee species Stelis odontopyga Noskiewicz were found at the same localities inhabiting empty snail shells (Moreno-Rueda et al. 2008), suggesting that S. odontopyga, which is known to develop in nests of O. spinulosa (Noskiewicz 1925; Blüthgen 1926), might also parasitize O. fallax .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFAA884447D82A4EE05308E0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Southernmost Spain and Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia).</p><p>Pollen hosts. Oligolectic on Asteraceae (based on 19 pollen loads from 14 different localities in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and on field observations). The species exhibits a near exclusive preference for Cichorioideae and Asteroideae as pollen hosts (Fig. 4): 15 pollen loads exclusively consisted of pollen of Cichorioideae (n = 11) or Asteroideae (n = 4), while four were mixed loads of pollen of both subfamilies. Flower records: Chrysanthemum coronarium, Leontodon spec., Pallenis spinosa (label records).</p><p>Nesting biology. The nests are built in empty snail shells of small to medium size with a diameter of 15–30 mm, e.g. Otala lactea (Helicidae); nests were also found in elongate conical shells of Rumina sp. ( Subulinidae) with a length of 24–32 mm and a diameter of 9–12 mm (Ferton 1920, A. Müller unpublished data). Eighteen nests from Morocco (n = 12) and Tunisia (n = 6) contained two (n = 6), three (n = 9) or four (n = 3) brood cells (Fig. 7). The brood cells are separated from each other by one-layered partitions consisting of leaf pulp. An additional wall of leaf pulp seals the shell at or few millimetres behind its opening. The empty vestibule between the outermost cell and the nest plug varies in length from one fourth to five sixth of one shell whorl. As in O. spinulosa, the nests are not sealed against their rear end with a basal wall and the outermost cell partition is distinctly more robust than all the other cell partitions and the nest plug, probably acting as a barrier against parasites and predators. In contrast to O. spinulosa, the shells are never turned after they have been sealed.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFA8884547D82DAFE6D709EA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Oligolectic on Asteraceae (based on 29 pollen loads from 23 different localities in Greece, Israel, Jordan and Syria and on field observations).

The nests are built in empty snail shells of medium size, e.g. Theba pisana (H. Wiesbauer personal communication). In sand dune areas in Western Greece near Patras, where the temperature of the soil surface reaches 50–60°C on sunny days, the females preferentially nested in shells lying in the shade of small shrubs; if the shells lay openly on the hot sandy ground, the females rolled their nests to sun-protected places under shrubs, probably to protect them from overheating (H. Wiesbauer personal communication). Cell partitions and nest plug are constructed from leaf pulp.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFA8884247D828C5E71C0AA0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

From southern Europe (northern Spain, Andorra, southern France, Italy including Sardinia and Sicilia) over southeastern Europe (Croatia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova) to eastern Turkey and the Caucasus (Armenia); from western Europe (southernmost United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Netherlands) over central Europe (Luxembourg, Germany, Poland, Czech Republique, Slovakia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary), northern Europe (southernmost Norway, southernmost Sweden) and eastern Europe (Ukraine, Russia) to central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan) and the Russian Khakassia republic of eastern Siberia. The species seems to be absent from most of the Iberian Peninsula as well as from Greece. There is a single male from Crete (Pass near Pinakino, 19.4.1986, leg. W. Vöth, Oberösterreichisches Landesmuseum Linz), which might have been mislabelled as no other specimens have ever been recorded from this well explored Greek island. The westernmost record is from Pembrokeshire in southwestern Wales, the northernmost from Oslo province in southern Norway, the southernmost from Güragaç in southern Konya province of Turkey and the easternmost from Shira lake in the Khakassia republic of Russia.</p><p>Pollen hosts. Oligolectic on Asteraceae (Westrich 1989; Müller 1994). Among the Asteraceae, species of the Asteroideae (e.g. Anthemis, Aster, Buphthalmum, Inula, Senecio), Carduoideae (e.g. Carduus, Centaurea, Cirsium) and Cichorioideae (e.g. Cichorium, Crepis, Hieracium, Leontodon, Picris, Tragopogon) are exploited for pollen. On the Asteroideae, which is probably the most important pollen host taxon among the Asteraceae subfamilies (Fig. 1), the females take up pollen from the surface of the capitulum directly into their scopa by rapidly moving the metasoma up and down (“abdominal drumming” sensu Cane 2017). On Carduoideae und Cichorioideae, they use their hind legs to direct the pollen-bearing flower structures under the seesawing metasoma. To provision one brood cell, the entire pollen content of about four flower heads of Buphthalmum salicifolium is needed (Müller et al. 2006).</p><p>Nesting biology. Nesting site: The nests are built in empty snail shells of small to medium size (Fig. 5, 6) e.g. Cepaea, Cernuella, Fruticicola, Helicella, Pomatias, Xerolenta, Zebrina and occasionally also young shells of Helix (Müller 1994) . Nest architecture: The nests contain 1–3, mostly 2 brood cells, which are separated from each other by partitions consisting of leaf pulp, e.g. from Potentilla or Sanguisorba (Müller 1994) . There is no basal wall that seals the innermost brood cell against the rear end of the nest. The shells are sealed at their opening with an additional wall of leaf pulp. There is an empty vestibule of varying length between nest plug and outermost cell partition. The latter probably acts as main barrier against predators or parasites as it is distinctly more robust than the other cell partitions and the nest plug, needing more than 30 flights with leaf pulp for its construction. Nesting cycle: On average, about 30 foraging bouts are needed to provision one brood cell, which takes about 12.5 h under good weather conditions (Müller 1994). After having sealed the shell, the female crawls upside down under her nest and turns it with her legs so that the shell opening is directed tightly towards the ground (Fig. 6), which might possibly provide some protection against inclement weather. Under good conditions, a female constructs up to 20 brood cells during her flight period, which lasts maximally 10–11 weeks. Interestingly, the females regularly control their nests up to four weeks after they have sealed them to repair holes and cracks in the nest plug with newly collected leaf pulp. Osmia spinulosa overwinters as a prepupa in a self-spun cocoon within the brood cell. It has one generation per year. However, it seems to be a parsivoltine species since about half of all larvae that emerged from the brood cells were found to undergo metamorphosis only after the second hibernation. Brood parasites: The megachilid bee species Stelis odontopyga develops as cleptoparasite in the nests of O. spinulosa (Noskiewicz 1925; Blüthgen 1926). Additional confirmed brood parasites are Chrysura cuprea (Rossi) and C. trimaculata (Förster) (Chrysididae), Anthrax aethiops (Fabricius) (Bombyliidae), Melittobia acasta (Walker) (Eulophidae), Pteromalus apum (Retzius) and P. venustus Statz (Pteromalidae) (Kunz 1994; Müller 1994; BWARS 2013).</p><p>Behaviour. Male mating behaviour: The males occupy small home ranges, to which they adhere during their entire flight period, which lasts maximally 5–6 weeks (Müller 1994). Within these home ranges, they search for females by patrolling Asteraceae flower heads along more or less fixed circular flight routes in a rapid flight, which is interrupted by short resting periods on the ground. Home ranges and flight routes are never defended against conspecifics but instead often widely overlap. Sleeping places: The males sleep singly or in small groups within empty snail shells as do females that have not yet started their nesting activities (Müller 1994). Nesting females pass the night or periods of bad weather within their nests.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFAF884047D82A1EE664084F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Tkalců erroneously labelled the specimen that was designated as holotype in his original publication as a paratype, which is deposited in the Oberösterreichische Landesmuseum Linz. Thus, Linz is actually the holotype depository of O. tyrneri and not the Tyrner Collection in Litvinov as stated in Tkalců (1992). The males of O. tyrneri and O. spinulosa differ only slightly, e.g. in the shape of the sternal spine, the punctation of the integument and the colour of the body pilosity (see Key to species), suggesting conspecificity. However, these separating characters do not seem to clinally change from west to east, since males of O. spinulosa from both northern Kyrgyzstan and southeastern Kazakhstan are morphologically almost identical to those from Europe. Therefore, O. tyrneri is regarded here as a species of its own in spite of its very close resemblance to O. spinulosa .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFAD884047D8296EE4480A86	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Switzerland (Valais), southern France (including Corsica), Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal), Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia). Osmia anceyi seems to be entirely absent from Italy, even in the country’s westernmost parts (G. Pagliano personal communication).</p><p>Subspecific classification. The apical margin of the clypeus of females occurring in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia is slightly less emarginate than in females from southwestern Europe. Based on this difference, Zanden (1994) established two subspecies, i.e. Osmia anceyi anceyi Pérez 1879 distributed in southwestern Europe and O. anceyi biarmica (Zanden 1994) ranging from Morocco to Tunisia.</p><p>Pollen hosts. Oligolectic on Asteraceae (based on 26 pollen loads from 18 different localities in Switzerland, France, Spain, Morocco and Algeria and on field observations). All 26 pollen loads exclusively consisted of pollen of Carduoideae ( Centaurea and/or thistles), suggesting that O. anceyi restricts pollen harvesting to this subfamily. Flower records: Carduus nutans, Centaurea algeriensis, C. calcitrapa, C. jacea, C. paniculata, C. solstitialis, C. sphaerocephala, Onopordum illyricum (label records).</p><p>Nesting biology. The nests are built in various preexisting cavities: insect burrows in dead wood, dead hollow plant stems, burrows in the pith of dead stems (e.g. Asphodelus) excavated by other aculeates (e.g. Ceratina) or abandoned nests of aculeate hymenopterans in clay walls (Alfken 1928; Torres et al. 1997; Amiet et al. 2004; G. Le Goff personal communication; A. Müller unpublished data). The nests contain up to nine linearly arranged brood cells, which are separated from each other by partitions constructed from mud, which is sometimes mixed with small particles of pith. Coelioxys osmiae Alfken is assumed to be a brood parasite of O. anceyi (Alfken 1928) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFAC884147D82DAFE0280BC3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Sedivy, A. Müller) .</p><p>Distribution. From eastern Austria, southern Czech Republique, Slovakia and Hungary over southeastern Poland and Romania to southern Ukraine and southern European Russia; from Italy and Slovenia over the Balkan peninsula (Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Greece including Crete, Bulgaria) and Turkey to the Caucasus (Armenia) and central Iran; from Turkey over the Levant (Syria, Israel and Palestine, Jordan) to northern Egypt. The westernmost record is from Mondovi in Italian Piemonte province (G. Pagliano personal communication), the northernmost from Uherské Hradiště in southern Moravia, the southernmost from Cairo in northern Egypt and the easternmost from Komehr in Iranian Fars province. The species’ occurrence in Turkmenistan, Mongolia and the Russian Far East as reported by Romankova (1995) appears to be doubtful and needs verification. Osmia bidentata seems to be entirely absent from France, the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb, where it is replaced by O. anceyi as already assumed by Tkalců (1979).</p><p>Subspecific classification. The metasomal scopa of females occurring on Lesbos, in Turkey, Iran, the Levant and Egypt is whitish rather than yellowish-red as in females of the more western populations and of the Caucasus. Based on this difference, Tkalců (1979) established two subspecies, i.e. Osmia bidentata bidentata Morawitz 1876 distributed mainly in Europe and O. bidentata pallens (Tkalců 1979) ranging from easternmost Europe over Turkey eastwards to Iran and southwards to northern Egypt.</p><p>Pollen hosts. Oligolectic on Asteraceae (based on 62 pollen loads from 27 different localities in Italy, Austria, Hungary, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Israel and Jordan and on field observations). All loads exclusively consisted of Centaurea pollen except for two loads that additionally contained moderate quantities of thistle pollen, indicating that O. bidentata most probably restricts pollen harvesting to the subfamily Carduoideae (Fig. 3). One load contained small amounts of Onobrychis pollen ( Fabaceae) beside Centaurea pollen, suggesting that the females very rarely also exploit pollen hosts other than the Asteraceae . These findings are in contrast to Güler &amp; Sorkun (2007), who assume O. bidentata to be polylectic, harvesting pollen from flowers of eleven plant families. Flower records: Carduus spec., Centaurea stoebe (Tkalců 1974a); Arctium, Carduus spec., Centaurea iberica, C. spinosa, Cirsium spec., Onopordum spec. (label records).</p><p>Nesting biology. The nests are built in various preexisting cavities, such as insect burrows in dead wood, dead hollow plant stems (e.g. Phragmites) or cavities in the soil (Popovici-Baznosanu 1909; Banaszak &amp; Romasenko 2001; A. Müller unpublished data), possibly also in abandoned nests of aculeates in loess scarps (H. Wiesbauer personal communication). They contain 1–11 linearly arranged brood cells, which are separated from each other by partitions made of mud. In Phragmites stems, the entire brood cells including their walls may be constructed from mud. The nest is sealed by a one-layered wall of mud at its opening. The space between the outermost cell and the nest plug is 1.5–5 cm long and usually empty, but is occasionally divided up by an additional wall of mud. Osmia bidentata overwinters in the prepupal stage (Popovici-Baznosanu 1909).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFB3885F47D82D84E6820B0C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The westernmost record is from Sobreda near Lisbon in western Portugal, the northernmost from Turňa nad Bodvou in southeastern Slovakia, the southernmost from Nurabad in Iranian Fars province and the easternmost from Firyuza in southwestern Turkmenistan.</p><p>Pollen hosts. Oligolectic on Asteraceae (based on 50 pollen loads from 43 different localities in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Israel and Palestine, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and Turkmenistan and on field observations). Among the Asteraceae, O. ligurica only exploits the flowers of Asteroideae and Cichorioideae with a preference for the former subfamily: 36 pollen loads were pure loads of Asteroideae pollen and four were pure loads of Cichorioideae pollen, while seven were mixed loads consisting of the pollen of both subfamilies. Three pollen loads contained small amounts of Brassicaceae, Campanulaceae or Resedaceae pollen beside Asteroideae pollen, suggesting that the females very rarely also exploit pollen hosts other than the Asteraceae . On the Asteroideae, the females take up pollen from the surface of the capitulum directly into their scopa by rapidly moving the metasoma up and down (“abdominal drumming” sensu Cane 2017). Flower records: Hieracium bauhinii (Tkalců 1994); Achillea spec., Anthemis tinctoria, Buphthalmum salicifolium, Calendula arvensis, Crepis aculeata, Glebionis coronaria, Hypochaeris achyrophorus, Inula spec., Leontodon spec., Pallenis spinosa, Pulicaria dysenterica, Reichardia picroides (label records).</p><p>Nesting biology. The nests are built in 3–4 mm wide burrows in the pith of dead plant stems excavated by other aculeates (e.g. Ceratina) or in dead hollow stems (Friese 1893; Benoist 1931; Mavromoustakis 1939; Grandi 1961; G. Le Goff personal communication; A. Müller unpublished data; Fig. 9, 10). The most important nesting sites are dead tendrils of Rubus; further nesting sites include dead stems of Artemisia, Foeniculum and Scolymus . The nests contain up to eight linearly arranged brood cells, which are separated from each other by partitions constructed from leaf pulp. Leaf pulp is also used to seal the nest at its opening. Leucospis dorsigera Fabricius (Leucospidae) was reared from the nests of O. ligurica (Baur &amp; Amiet 2000) .</p><p>Note. In the male, the lower half of the paraocular area is covered with a very short, appressed and plumose pilosity. This specialized pilosity is hypothesized to be involved in the mating behaviour as it is often soaked with a fluid of unknown origin, which might serve to mark home ranges or territories or to communicate with the female during courtship and mating.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFB7885847D82DAFE49A0D23	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The westernmost record is from Agadir in western Morocco, the northernmost from Kováčov near Štúrovo in southernmost Slovakia, the southernmost from Beit Nir in Central Israel and the easternmost from near Chalus in Iranian Mazandaran province.</p><p>Pollen hosts. Oligolectic on Asteraceae (based on 50 pollen loads from 42 different localities in Cyprus, France, Greece, Israel and Palestine, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Romania, Syria and Turkey and on field observations). Among the Asteraceae, O. scutellaris only exploits species of Asteroideae and Cichorioideae with a preference for the latter subfamily: 35 pollen loads were pure loads of Cichorioideae pollen and eight were pure loads of Asteroideae pollen, while seven were mixed loads consisting of the pollen of both subfamilies. On the Asteroideae, the females take up pollen from the surface of the capitulum directly into their scopa by rapidly moving the metasoma up and down (“abdominal drumming” sensu Cane 2017). Flower records: Anthemis chia, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Crepis aculeata, Inula spec., Pallenis spinosa, Picris spec., Sonchus asper, Thrincia spec., Urospermum picroides (label records).</p><p>Nesting biology. The nests are built in burrows in the pith of dead plant stems excavated by other aculeates (e.g. Ceratina) or in dead hollow stems (Friese 1893; Graeffe 1902; Benoist 1931; A. Gogala personal communication). The most important nesting sites are dead tendrils of Rubus. The material to construct cell partitions and nest plugs is still unknown, but is probably leaf pulp as in closely related species such as O. ligurica .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F3D869FFB4885647D82F8CE0DD0B9C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

( Hoplosmia) species, which have their metanotum not hidden by the scutellum when seen from above and whose proboscis is not longer than the mesosoma. Among these species, the female of O. warnckei is easily recognisable by the very coarse punctation of head and mesosoma, the very sharp preooccipital margin and the comparably long proboscis, which is of about the same length as the mesosoma (see Key to species).</p><p>Literature records.
