The genus Lasioglossum Curtis, 1833 (Hymenoptera, Halictidae) in Azerbaijan

Abstract

Available information about bees of the genus Lasioglossum in Azerbaijan is summarised. One hundred and one species are currently known from this country. Twenty-three species are newly recorded from the Caucasus region and additional eighteen species are newly recorded from Azerbaijan. Three species are excluded from the list of Azerbaijani fauna. A new synonymy is proposed for Lasioglossum euxinicum Ebmer, 1972 = L. alievi Pesenko, 1986, syn. nov., and a lectotype is designated for Halictus schelkovnikovi Kokujev, 1913.
