Sphecodes campadellii Nobile & Turrisi, 2004: 118-119, Fig. 1 , ♂. Holotype: ♂, Italy, Emila Romagna, Zocca (Modena), 8.VIII.1962 (collection of the Institute of Entomology "G. Grandi", University of Bologna, Italy). Junior subjective synonym of S. geoffrellus (Kirby, 1802) according to Schwarz and Gusenleitner (2012: 74).

Remark.

We have not reexamined the holotype of S. campadellii because it has not been found in IUB/ ZSM and probably is lost. However, we agree with its synonymy with S. geoffrellus as previously suggested by Schwarz and Gusenleitner (2012) based on type studies.
