“…Taxonomic studies of this group in Egypt are very scarce (e.g., Alfken (9,10) , Krombein (17)). The present contribution adopts the classification system of Litman et al (3), Faterygaa et al (12), and Zakikhani et al (13) to the Egyptian members of Anthidiini, within five genera. Other studies treated all five genera as a single one (i.e., Anthidium) (11).…”

“…In Egypt, the taxonomic studies on the members of the tribe Anthidiini were first conducted by Alfken (9,10) and the recent revision to the family Megachilidae were carried out by Salem and El-Azab (11) who presented eighteen Egyptian species of tribe Anthidiini within a single genus (Anthidium Fabricius, 1804). Before and after Salem and El-Azab's classification (11) many authors distributed these species among five genera (Pachyanthidium, Icteranthidium, Pseudoanthidium, Afranthidium, and Anthidium) (e.g., Litman et al (3), Faterygaa (12) and Zakikhani et al (13), accordingly, the present revision adopts this classification to the Egyptian Anthidiini.…”

Tribe Anthidiini (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Megachilinae) is composed of intriguing solitary bees that are cosmopolitan in distribution (widely distributed in all continents, except Antarctica). This family includes the mason and leafcutter. The name carder bee may be referred to the female of this tribe are scrapes and collects the soft downy hairs (trichomes) of some plants to build their nest to lay eggs and for her youngThe wool carder bees are represented in Egypt by seventeen species within five genera. Taxonomic keys were established for genera of the tribe and species of genera whenever needed. Verbal descriptions accompanied by detailed illustrations and photographs were presented. The distribution of species in Egypt and the world was presented. The classification of the tribe updated and received changes according to the recent publication and examination of the Egyptian entomological collections and fauna. Some taxonomic updates were carried out during the present study e.g., Anthidium karschi Friese, 1899 dropped as a synonym for Afranthidium alternans (Klug,1832); Anthidium alternans Klug, 1832 transferred to genus Afranthidium.

“…A list of just 30 species, including one species later synonymized, was published 150 years ago (Morawitz 1873); six of them were described as new, of which four are currently recognized as valid species. Some recently published papers (Fateryga 2017;Fateryga et al 2019;Fateryga and Proshchalykin 2020;Litman et al 2021) added 46 species increasing the total species number to 75, which is expected to be still very far from the true number of megachilid bee species occurring in Dagestan. The present contribution is a part of the currently ongoing study of the megachilid bees of Dagestan.…”

Hoplitis astragalisp. nov., a member of the H. monstrabilis species group, and H. dagestanicasp. nov., a member of the H. adunca species group, are described. The former species is known from Dagestan in Russia, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan, the latter only from Dagestan. Nests of H. astragali are described. Females of this species excavated burrows in a vertical clay cliff, but sometimes chose a horizontal surface for nest excavation, particularly at the entrance of old burrows of Xylocopa olivieri (Apidae). The nest burrows of H. astragali were either sub-vertical or sub-horizontal. The nests were composed of one to three brood cells, an empty vestibule in front of the outermost cell, and a closing plug at the nest entrance made of moistened mud. The inner surface of the cells was covered with a thin wall composed of compact soil, most probably built by the female bee after cell excavation. The pollen loaf was very liquid and had a spherical shape. The egg was deposited on its top. The cocoon consisted of a single thin layer, which uniformly covered the whole inner surface of the cell. There was one generation per year. The prepupae hibernated. Sapyga caucasica (Sapygidae) was recorded in the nests as a kleptoparasite. Both females and males of H. astragali exclusively visited flowers of two species of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae).

The data on 38 species of megachilid bees in the tribes Lithurgini, Dioxyini, and Megachilini collected in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan mainly in 2018–2020 are given. Seventeen species are new to Azerbaijan, four other species are new to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and as a result of the present investigation the fauna of Azerbaijan currently numbers 160 species of the family Megachilidae. A mosaic gynandro¬morph of Megachile albisecta (Klug, 1817) is also described.
