DISTRIBUTION IN WEST SIBERIA. *No. This is a first record from the territory to the eastward of the Urals.
REMARK.
Pseudoanthidium tenellum
is a member of the “
lituratum
” species complex.
The reliable characters for delimitation of this species from others were given in Aguib
et al
.
(2010), but we have been unable to use them for females, because of their complexity and the lack of material for comparison. Our female specimens could be
P. tenellum
,
P. nanum
(Mocsáry, 1881) or one of three species described from the Urals which have not been revised properly:
P. floripetum
(Eversmann, 1852)
,
P. reptans
(Eversmann, 1852)
, and
P.
eversmanni
(Radoszkowski, 1886) (see Proshchalykin
et al
., 2017). Thus females are not listed here.
