Hylaeus ( Prosopis) stigmorhinus ( Pérez, 1895)

The history of this taxon is rather complex. Depending on the authors, it has been treated as a distinct species (e.g. Nadig & Nadig 1933; Benoist 1959; Leclercq 1964), a synonym either of H. pictus (Smith, 1853) ( Straka &

Bogusch 2011) or H. praenotatus (Ortiz-Saìnchez et al. 2002; Ornosa & Ortiz-Saìnchez 2004). Examination of the types reveals it is a junior synonym of Hylaeus purpurissatus (Vachal, 1895) ( Le Divelec 2022) .
