New data: PORTUGAL : Porto , Leca de Palmeira , 3.viii.1962 , 1♂ , leg. J. Abraham & L. Horacsek ( BMNH ; Pauly et al . 2015 ); Sesimbra, Santana, Estr. Fonte de Carvalho , 3.viii.2019 , 1♂ , det. & leg. Wood. Notes: Pauly et al . (2015) separated H. submediterraneus from H. smaragdulus s.s. (Vachal, 1895) on genetic and morphological differences, most clearly in the male genitalia. Halictus submediterraneus was not listed in Baldock et al . (2018) due to uncertainty about how to separate the two taxa. Both species occur in Portugal , but their relative frequency and full distributions are currently unknown as females are morphologically inseparable. In Portugal , confirmed males are currently known only from the west coast.
