No full textSeladonia nomina dubia The following two names were proposed based on female specimens and clearly belong to the S. smaragdula complex, as they are currently synonymized under S. smaragdula s. lat. The types are known and in good shape, but because of their age, the study of molecular characters is assumedly impossible at this point. Males have not been associated with these names, thus their correct identity is uncertain. Until further studies clarify these problems, we have decided to consider both names as nomina dubia (see comments below).Published as part of Pauly, Alain, Devalez, Jelle, Sonet, Gontran, Nagy, Zoltán Tamás & Boevé, Jean-Luc, 2015, DNA barcoding and male genital morphology reveal five new cryptic species in the West Palearctic bee Seladonia smaragdula (Vachal, 1895) (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Halictidae), pp. 257-290 in Zootaxa 4034 (2) on page 286, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4034.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/24496
Seladonia butea Warncke 1975
No full textSeladonia butea (Warncke, 1975), nomen dubium Halictus buteus Warncke 1975: 119, ♀. Holotype: 1 ♀, Turkey, Sile, 5.VIII. 1968, leg. K. Warncke (OOLM). Comments. The holotype of Halictus buteus is a female of the S. smaragdula complex described from Sile, northwestern Turkey. Males of S. orientana and S. submediterranea occur in the same area and thus they were initially thought as good candidates for an association with this species. In fact, the males identified by Warncke as S. butea from some localities in Greece and Turkey actually belong to either S. orientana or S. submediterranea. However, as the female holotype does not bear specific characters and because no males were collected in the same locality with the type, we decided to recognize S. butea as a "nomen dubium" until further studies clarify this issue. The collection of more material from Turkey, including males from the type locality, is needed.Published as part of Pauly, Alain, Devalez, Jelle, Sonet, Gontran, Nagy, Zoltán Tamás & Boevé, Jean-Luc, 2015, DNA barcoding and male genital morphology reveal five new cryptic species in the West Palearctic bee Seladonia smaragdula (Vachal, 1895) (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Halictidae), pp. 257-290 in Zootaxa 4034 (2) on page 286, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4034.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/24496
Seladonia morinella Warncke 1975
No full textSeladonia morinella (Warncke, 1975), nomen dubium Halictus morinellus Warncke 1975: 118, ♀ ♂. Holotype: 1 ♀, Turkey, Horasan, Arastal, 3.IX. 1973, leg. Warncke (OOLM). Comments. Halictus morinellus was described from a small female holotype collected in NE Turkey where both S. orientana and S. submediterranea occur. The description of the male paratypes is based on specimens from Greece and Macedonia. These paratypes are actually S. orientana and S. submediterranea. The correct association of the male of this species is not possible at this point, so we decided to recognize S. morinella as a "nomen dubium" until further studies clarify its status. Collecting males from the typical locality is needed.Published as part of Pauly, Alain, Devalez, Jelle, Sonet, Gontran, Nagy, Zoltán Tamás & Boevé, Jean-Luc, 2015, DNA barcoding and male genital morphology reveal five new cryptic species in the West Palearctic bee Seladonia smaragdula (Vachal, 1895) (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Halictidae), pp. 257-290 in Zootaxa 4034 (2) on page 286, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4034.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/24496

Seladonia smaragdula
No full textSeladonia smaragdula complex Diagnosis. Members of the S. smaragdula complex can be distinguished from all other Seladonia by the following combination of characters: small body size (length 5.0–6.5 mm); body with golden green metallic reflexions; femora dark; tibiae and tarsi yellow brown with dark central maculations; head short (female length/width 0.92– 1.02; male 0.95–1.22); vertex short, rounded; punctation of scutum minute and dense, spaces between punctures equivalent to a puncture width; propodeal area rounded, surrounded by shiny area; terga with apical hair bands, minutely and densely punctate, spaces between punctures equivalent to a puncture width; male gonocoxite with a large and a small projection, the large projection bearing a tuft of setae on its inner side and with a thin apical appendice (Fig. 7). Two species may be easily confused with those of the S. smaragdula complex: S. cephalica (Morawitz, 1873) and S. gemmea (Dours, 1872). Seladonia cephalica differs by the first tergum with apical margin more depressed, vertex and gena more developed, propodeum with larger shining area, and the male fourth antennal segment longer (length/width 1.54). The female of S. gemmea differs from those of the S. smaragdula complex by the lack of apical hair bands on the terga, vertex and gena more developed and propodeum with larger shining area. The male differs by the lack of an apical appendice on the large projection of the gonocoxite and the specialized pilosity on the inner side of this projection, which is reduced to a single long setae.Published as part of Pauly, Alain, Devalez, Jelle, Sonet, Gontran, Nagy, Zoltán Tamás & Boevé, Jean-Luc, 2015, DNA barcoding and male genital morphology reveal five new cryptic species in the West Palearctic bee Seladonia smaragdula (Vachal, 1895) (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Halictidae), pp. 257-290 in Zootaxa 4034 (2) on page 264, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4034.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/24496

No full textSeladonia cretella Pauly & Devalez sp. nov. (Figs 20–21) Diagnosis. The underplate of the large projection of the gonocoxite in the male of this species is almost indistinguishable from that of S. phryganica and S. gemmella. Its shape is somewhat intermediate between those two species (Figs 20 c,d). The best character to distinguish S. cretella from both species is the long fourth antennal segment (length/width 1.44–1.53 in S. cretella vs. 1.05–1.17 in S. phryganica and 1.41 in S. gemmella; compare Figs 20 a and 20 b). This species can also be recognized by its geographic distribution, as it is an endemic species to the islands of Karpathos and Crete. On these two islands, the antenna is dark ventrally in S. cretella while it is brown yellow throughout in S. phryganica (Fig. 20 b); the small projection of the gonocoxite is also not as thin as in that of S. phryganica. Description. Male and female as described for S. smaragdula except as follows: underplate of large projection of male gonocoxite subtriangular to boomerang-shaped (Figs 20 c,d). Small projection of gonocoxite moderately thin (Fig. 24 d). Fourth antennal segment of the male relatively long (length/width = 1.44–1.53). Holotype. GREECE, Crete, Kournas, Asprouliani, 30 km W.

Endemic to Crete and Karpathos (Fig. 21). Etymology. The specific epithet is taken from the diminutive of the island "Crete" where the species occurs. Comments. This cryptic species was revealed by its barcode. The specimen from Crete (Asprouliani) barcoded by Schmidt et al. (2015) has a barcode positioned at the base of the cluster (S. gemmella + S. submediterranea + S. orientana). Unfortunately, the genitalia of the few collected specimens could not be photographed with a scanning electron microscope for study. Variations. Specimens from Karpathos have antennae dark below while they are brown in the specimens from Crete.Published as part of Pauly, Alain, Devalez, Jelle, Sonet, Gontran, Nagy, Zoltán Tamás & Boevé, Jean-Luc, 2015, DNA barcoding and male genital morphology reveal five new cryptic species in the West Palearctic bee Seladonia smaragdula (Vachal, 1895) (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Halictidae), pp. 257-290 in Zootaxa 4034 (2) on pages 282-284, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4034.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/24496
