Taxonomic Position of Lasioglossum (Evylaeus) algirum pseudannulipes (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Halictidae)

Abstract

The halictid bee Lasioglossum (Evylaeus) pseudannulipes (Bluthgen,1925) is here recognized as a full species although the taxon has been often ranked as a subspecies of L. (E.) algirum (Bluthgen 1925). We present a redescription of the species supplemented by drawings and photographs of diagnostically important characters, including those described for the first time.
