Notes.
Distances between DNA barcode sequences of
Stylops
from the subgenus
Andrena
and the other host subgenera are 8–17 % in the West Palaearctic Region (
JŮZOVÁ et al. 2015
).
Stylops praecocis
, which also parasitizes bees of the subgenus
Andrena
, seems to be very closely related and their DNA barcode sequences differ only 1 % in base composition. However, phylogenetic study suggests two distinct
Stylops
clades for early spring and late spring
Andrena
bee hosts (
JŮZOVÁ et al. 2015
). In addition, significant morphological differences were found in first instars from
A. fulva
(likely
S. nevinsoni
) and
A. praecox
(likely
S. praecocis
) (
BORCHERT 1963
). For these reasons, we decided to assign both names to valid species; however, more research is needed in this problem.
