Two species of Megachile Latreille, 1802 new to the Iberian Peninsula (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae)
Identification of material obtained in various bee surveys at several sites across Catalonia (NE Spain) has revealed the occurrence of two species of Megachile previously unrecorded from the Iberian Peninsula: Megachile (Megachile) alpicola and Megachile (Eutricharaea) flabellipes. A third species, Megachile (Megachile) lapponica, is recorded for the second time in the Iberian Peninsula. We provide a map of the known distribution in Catalonia and information on floral records for the three species.
