PSEUDOANTHIDIUM CANARIENSE ( MAVROMOUSTAKIS, 1954) View in CoL
( FIGS 2C View Figure 2 , 23C View Figure 23 , 25A, C, E View Figure 25 )
Anthidium canariense Mavromoustakis, 1954: 712– 715 View in CoL , ♀ ♂. Type locality:‘Canary Islands’ (without specific locality) [holotype ♀, allotype ♂, paratype ♀ (NMW); paratypes 2♀ (listed in publication as deposited in the Mavromoustakis personal collection), likely deposited at the MCN].
Material examined: Four females, seven males (see Supporting Information, Table S1 for specimen data).
Distribution: Spain (Canary Islands): Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Gomera ( Fig. 22C View Figure 22 ).
Host-plant associations: Asteraceae Gran Canaria Argyranthemum cf. frutescens (L.) Sch. Bip. (male visits), Asteriscus graveolens subsp. stenophyllus (Link) Greuter (male and female visits), Carduus tenuiflorus Curtis (female visits); Tenerife and Grand Canaria Carduus sp. (female visits); Tenerife, Grand Canaria, La Gomera Galactites tomentosa Moench (male and female visits); Tenerife Scolymus hispanicus L. (male and female visits); Brassicaceae Gran Canaria Erysimum scoparium (Brouss. ex Willd.) Wettst. (male visits), Hirschfeldia incana (L.) Lagr.-Foss. (female visits); Lamiaceae Tenerife Cedronella canariensis (L.) Webb & Berthel. (male visits) ( Hohmann et al., 1993).
Diagnosis female: The female of P. canariense may be distinguished from other members of this complex by the following combination of characters: punctation on terga comparatively coarse, as large or larger than punctation on mesonotum, with shiny interspaces between punctures; largest punctures on black part of scutellum approximately equal in diameter to those of largest punctures on T2; maculations on head, mesosoma and metasoma dark orange; shiny spaces between punctures on T3 narrow, less than one-quarter of a puncture wide; hairs on inside of third basitarsus dark brown and with individual hairs mostly thicker than hairs on outside surface. Colour of maculations orange-yellow ( Fig. 25A View Figure 25 ).
Diagnosis male: The male of P. canariense may be distinguished from other members of this complex by the following combination of characters: gonostylus approximately parallel-sided and unnotched at apex ( Fig. 23C View Figure 23 ); lateral comb on S5 small, with longest teeth shorter than maximal width of hind basitarsus; posterior, premarginal brush on S3 with hairs hooked at tips; shiny, hairless zone on S3 between posterior premarginal brush of hairs and anterior zone of dense, velvety pilosity very short, about one-third of the width of the sternum, dark, chevron-shaped, without medial extension extending anteriorly along the midline of sternum; posterior margin of S2 medially emarginate, S2 otherwise covered in silvery pilosity except for a more or less hairless posterior margin. Colour of maculations orange-yellow ( Fig. 25C View Figure 25 ). Posterior margin of T7 with deep, nearly semi-circular emargination medially ( Fig. 25E View Figure 25 ).
