| Abstract |
This paper presents the results of a taxonomic study of the bees of the genus Seladonia from the Eastern Palaearctic Region. Two new species, S. leleji sp. n. and S. nikolskayae sp. n. from the Primor...skii Territory of Russia, are described. A new synonymy is established: S. tumulorum ferripennis (Cockerell, 1929) = S. tumulorum higashi (Sakagami et Ebmer, 1979), syn. n. The taxonomic rank of S. gobiensis (Ebmer, 1982), originally described as a subspecies of S. pseudovestita (Blüthgen, 1925), is raised to specific status. The lectotypes of Halictus semitectus Morawitz, 1874; H. mongolicus Morawitz, 1880; H. confluens Morawitz, 1890 [= S. aeraria (Smith, 1873)] and H. pjalmensis gaschunicus Blüthgen, 1935 are designated. Seven species, S. aeraria (Smith), S. argilos (Ebmer), S. gobiensis (Ebmer), S. indefinita (Blüthgen), S. petraea (Blüthgen), S. pjalmensis (Strand) and S. placidula (Blüthgen), are recorded from Mongolia for the first time. A total of 24 species of the genus Seladonia were found in the Eastern Palaearctic Region. A key to all species is given, except for the female of S. opacoviridis (Ebmer, 2005). An annotated list of the species includes data for each species on its synonymy, general geographical distribution, published records from the Eastern Palaearctic Region, and the material examined.show more
