Halictus
(
Halictus
)
tetrazonius
Klug in Germar, 1817
Distribution:
Southern Europe (
Pauly
et al
. 2016
).
Notes:
Halictus tetrazonius
is another
Halictus
species that cannot be confidently identified in the female sex. This species has been misidentified in the past, and is probably absent from
France
(
Pauly
et al
. 2016
) and
Iberia
(
Ortiz-Sánchez & Pauly 2017
). Because the only records from
Portugal
were made from female material, the species is removed from the Portuguese list.
Lasioglossum
(
Dialictus
)
mandibulare
(Morawitz, 1866)
and
Lasioglossum
(
Dialictus
)
aglyphum
(Pérez, 1895)
Distribution:
Mediterranean basin (
Pauly 2016b
).

Notes:
Currently only
L. mandibulare
is recorded from
Portugal
(
Baldock
et al
. 2018
). The taxonomic status of
L. aglyphum
is unclear, and it may be a subspecies of
L. mandibulare
that is found in North Africa, Sicily,
Israel
, and
Iran
(
Pauly 2016b
). For now, material from
Portugal
is best referred to as
L. mandibulare
until this situation has been clarified.
