Hylaeus ( Prosopisteron) perhumilis ( COCKERELL, 1914) View in CoL

SNELLING (1985) described this introduced species from Africa as Psilylaeus sagiops with records from the years 1930–1948. Later (1988) he stated the synonymy ( MICHENER 2007: 212). There are some more specimens in South African museums, which were not listed by SNELLING. Among them is a last record from December 1985, from near the town Kleinmond ( Western Cape). It is therefore conceivable that further populations have survived locally, but apparently they have not spread out from these points.
