Remarks: NOTTON & DATHE (2008) recognized during a revision of the Kirby collection that the previously widely-used name Hylaeus annularis had to be replaced by Hylaeus dilatatus . The type locality of Prosopis annularis elbursa WARNCKE, 1981 (a synonym of H. dilatatus (KIRBY) according to our understanding), is not the Elburs mountains in Iran, but the province Hakkâri ( 2600–3000 m) in Turkey. Here seven provinces are newly added to the recorded distribution. The species shows a sporadic distribution, recorded from sea level ( Muğla) up to a main occurrence at high altitudes ( 2000–3000 m). Achillea millefolium , Cirsium arvense , Heliotropium europaeum and Onopordum sp. are noted as visited plants. H. dilatatus is collected moderately in Turkey (10 provinces).
