Hylaeus (Prosopisteron) perhumilis ( COCKERELL, 1914) View in CoL

SNELLING (1985) described this introduced species from Africa as Psilylaeus sagiops with records from the years 1930–1948. Later (1988) he stated the synonymy ( MICHENER 2007: 212). There are some more specimens in South African museums, which were not listed by SNELLING. Among them is a last record from December 1985, from near the town Kleinmond (Western Cape). It is therefore conceivable that further populations have survived locally, but apparently they have not spread out from these points.
