Colletes kipyatkovi Kuhlmann & Proshchalykin in Proshchalykin & Kuhlmann 2013: 89, ♀ ( holotype : ♀, 12 km Sarybarak, Peski Muyunkum, Zhambyl Province, Kazakhstan , 2.VI.1978 , leg. Yu. Pesenko [ZISP]). Syn. nov. Material examined. Kazakhstan . 1 ♀, 3 ♂ , 15 km E Kapchagai [ 77°15'E 43°55'N ], 8.VI.1990 , VIT [ ZISP / RCMK ]; 2 ♂ , 25 km E Ushtagan, Sauskan Sands [ 53°05'E 43°50'N ], 13.VI.1979 , E. Narchuk [ ZISP ]. Remarks. Females of C. uralensis have been rarely collected and only when we recently re-examined the type material of this species ( Proshchalykin & Kuhlmann 2015a ) we discovered that the female of C. kaszabi Kuhlmann has occasionally been misinterpreted as C. uralensis ( Proshchalykin & Kuhlmann 2015b ). As part of the ongoing study of the Central Asia species it has now become clear that C. kipyatkovi , which was described based on females only, is a synonym of C. uralensis .
