Notes: Warncke (1992) considered S. rubripes to be a subspecies of Sphecodes albilabris (Fabricius, 1793) . However, it has several morphological and ecological differences ( Bogusch & Straka 2012 ; Cross 2017 ; Astafurova et al . 2019 ) and should be considered a valid species ( Bogusch & Straka 2014 ). In Portugal , S. rubripes is known only from the Algarve where it is a parasite of Eucera nigrilabris Lepeletier, 1841 ( Cross 2017 ) , whereas S. albilabris sensu stricto is found throughout the country.
