03EE2F0DFFBC0F41FF733E00FE57C64D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species belongs to the C. nanus species group that is particularly speciose in deserts and semi-deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. Far less species occur in the Caucasus region and Middle Asia, namely C. popovi Noskiewicz, 1936, C. schwarzi Kuhlmann, 2002 and the enigmatic C. penulatus Noskiewicz, 1936. The latter species is known only from the single female holotype, which appears to have been lost and could not be studied (for details see “ Remarks ” below). Therefore, the diagnosis is limited to the first two closely related species, which are the only others found in the region. Both are also extensively illustrated here to facilitate the identification of all species. The female of C. storozhenkoi differs from C. popovi and C. schwarzi by the following character combination: clypeus evenly convex and densely punctate, almost dull (Figs 1 B, 2 A) (medially flat and more sparsely punctate, shinier in C. schwarzi (Fig. 2 C) and C. popovi (Fig. 2 E )), apical clypeal grooves slightly further apart and smaller (Fig. 2 A) than in the other two species (Figs 2 C, E), disc of mesoscutum sparsely punctate (i = 2 – 4 d) (Fig. 2 B) (impunctate in C. schwarzi and C. popovi, Figs 2 D, F), apical tergal hair bands narrower, glabrous parts of tergal discs broader than apical tergal hair bands (Figs 3 A, B) (apical tergal hair bands broader, glabrous parts of tergal discs narrower than apical tergal hair bands in the other two species (Figs 3 C – F )).	en	Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu., Kuhlmann, Michael (2025): A new species and new records of Colletes Latreille (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) from Dagestan Republic, Russia.

Mesoscutum, scutellum, metanotum, mesepisternum and propodeum covered with long, whitish to yellowish-brown, erect hair (Fig. 1 A). Wings.

03EE2F0DFFBC0F41FF733E00FE57C64D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The female of C. storozhenkoi differs in some respects (sculpture of clypeus, punctation and pilosity of metasoma) from the description of C. penulatus and both species were found in different regions (C. penulatus: valley of the river Ares, formerly Araxes, South Azerbaijan). Although it appears to be unlikely, it cannot be completely ruled out at present that they might indeed represent this species. According to the description, the holotype of C. penulatus (only a single specimen is known) was placed in Noskiewicz´ collection (Noskiewicz 1936: 287) but the specimen is not there (Wanat et al. 2014). So, ultimate clarity could only be obtained by either rediscovering the holotype of C. penulatus or by finding females that exactly match Noskiewicz’s (1936) description, that are known to be precise and reliable.	en	Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu., Kuhlmann, Michael (2025): A new species and new records of Colletes Latreille (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) from Dagestan Republic, Russia.
