Notes

In Italy, S. gavarnica has been recorded in the Sibillini Mountains ( Piatti and Ricciardelli D'Albore 2006). There is also an indication of its occurrence in Piemonte ( Comba 2019). Sequencing of one of our specimens yielded a 658 bp sequence matching the single one in BOLD labelled Halictus gavarnicus , from the French Maritime Alps, at 99.39%. All matches with other BOLD sequences were well below 96.5%.
