General distribution. * Mongolia, Kazakhstan, China (Xinjiang).

Remarks. The recent type comparison in conjunction with examination of extensive new material confirmed the conspecificity of both Morawitz taxa, as had already been suggested earlier (Dathe 1986a: 285). See also the discussion to Hylaeus kozlovi sp. n. above.—The record of H. pusillus for Mongolia (“Südöstl. Mongolei, Prshew.[alsky leg.]“, Morawitz 1880: 388) is incorrect, this territory actually belongs to China (Xinjiang) (see Kerzhner 1972: 93–94).
