Colletes jansmiti KUHLMANN, 2018 (Figs 1-2, 7-10) Colletes jansmiti KUHLMANN, 2018 — KUHLMANN & SMIT (2018): 1250-1251, 1253-1254. Holotype: ♀ (Ronda la Vieja, Spain) (research collection of M. Kuhlmann, Zoological Museum of Kiel University, Kiel, Germany). A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Spain: 1³,"Archidona(Mal)E. [37°05′ N, 4°23′ W], 31-5-1983, Leg. H. Teunissen" (Coll. Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, Netherlands). The hitherto unknown male of C. jansmiti is here described for the first time. D i a g n o s i s: Colletes jansmiti differs from the other species of the C. albomaculatus species-group by the following character combination (see also key to males below): Punctation on disc of T 1 fine and very dense (i <0.5d), apical margin sharply truncate and deeply depressed, depression slightly narrower than the width of the antenna (Fig. 1), size and shape of S7 (Fig. 2). D e s c r i p t i o n: Male: Body length: 12.0 mm (Habitus Fig. 7). Head slightly wider than long (Fig. 8). Integument black, mandible apically dark reddish-brown. Face densely covered with moderately long yellowish-grey, erect hair (Fig. 8). Clypeus convex, relatively finely, regularly and densely punctate (i = 0.5-1.0d); surface between punctures smooth and shiny, inconspicuous pair of apical clypeal depressions (Fig. 8). Malar area medially narrow, about 1/4 as long as width of mandible base, finely striate and matt. Antenna black. Scutum coarsely and densely punctate (i <0.5d), on the disc slightly coarser and more dispersed, between punctures smooth and shiny. Scutellum almost flat, densely and coarsely punctate (i <0.5d). Mesosoma densely covered with short yellowish-grey hair (Fig. 7). Wings fuscous, venation blackish-brown (Fig. 7). Legs black, tarsi partly dark reddish-brown, vestiture whitish. Integument of metasoma black to partly very dark reddish-black, apical tergal depressions translucent brown (Fig. 9). Terga sparsely covered with short erect hair, on T 1- T 2 greyish, from T 3 successively darker brown; apical depressions with short appressed white hair forming narrow apical hair bands (Figs 1, 9). Terga apically distinctly depressed, depression smooth and shiny. Terga very densely (i <0.5d) and relatively coarsely punctate, between punctures smooth and shiny (Figs 1, 9). S2-S4 with very narrow but distinct apical hair band. Gonostylus (Fig. 10) and S7 (Fig. 2) as illustrated. G e n e r a l d i s t r i b u t i o n: So far, the species has only been found at two sites in southern Spain.
