Remark. Very often, the type series of Eversmann's species consisted of several taxa (sometimes belonging to different genera or even families). In Eversmann's (1852) work about bees, the species descriptions are very short and without illustrations. The type specimens are now in several museums (Krakow, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and London). In this case, the designation of a lectotype will avoid any confusion about the status of the name and allow to properly diagnose the species (similar examples can be found in our previous papers: Proshchalykin & Astafurova 2016; Proshchalykin et al. 2017). Osmia scita was described from specimens of both sexes collected in “in terris transuralensibus” (Siberia). There are two females and one male from Siberia in ISZP, which bear labels handwritten by Eversmann and corresponds to the original description. One of these specimens (male) is designated here as the lectotype of Osmia scita .
