Remarks: This Asian species is new to Turkey. Its distribution is focussed mainly on Eastern and South-Eastern Anatolia, but it has also been recorded from Central Anatolia ( Nevşehir). Currently, Nevşehir is next to the Ukraine the westernmost point of its total distribution. H. pallidicornis might be considered as a bee species preferring a continental climate at 400–2200 m altitude. The flight period is from the end of May to the middle of August. It is collected only sparsely in Turkey (5 provinces, Fig. 16.2 ).

Distribution: Central Asia ( Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan), Mongolia, China, Russia (North Caucasus), Ukraine ( DATHE & PROSHCHALYKIN 2018). New to the Turkish fauna.
