Xylocopa (Ancylocopa) parviceps Morawitz, 1895 View in CoL * ( fig. 21.3 View FIGURE 21. 1 )

Males of the material examined for this species have both a white clypeus and clypeus without colouration. In his key, Warncke (1982) assigned both these forms to X. parviceps . In our case the specimens collected on the 28.V.2017 from the same locality had both forms flying at the same time. Further investigations are necessary to see if these two forms diverge in a significant manner.

Distribution: PALAEARCTIC: Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey ( Terzo & Rasmont 2014) and further east to China ( Ascher & Pickering 2021).
