Pseudoanthidium gregoriense

Pseudoanthidium gregoriense was described by Nobile (1990) as an island endemic from Sicily. Originally described as a subspecies of P. alpinum, Nobile later raised P. gregoriense to species status (1995). As mentioned above for Stelis leucostoma, Nobile (1995) draws parallels between P. gregoriense , P. leucostoma and P. lituratum . We examined four specimens of this taxon identified by Nobile (including one of his paratypes) and a photograph of the holotype, plus two other female specimens from Sicily. These specimens agree with our concept of P. stigmaticorne .
