Grace (2010) reported this species from Lebanon without locality details. This male specimen was reported as A. ovatula agg by Wood et al. (2020 a). However, barcoding (TJW & C. Praz, unpublished data) confirmed that it belongs to A. leucopsis. The females reported as A. ovatula agg barcode differently and do not correspond to any known European taxon. It is not currently possible to confidently place a name on this material because of the confused taxonomy of the group, and so it should remain in aggregate for now. The presence of A. leucopsis in Lebanon suggests the Warncke records from the Anti-Lebanon in southern Syria (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002) are likely to be correct.	en	Boustani, Mira, Rasmont, Pierre, Dathe, Holger H., Ghisbain, Guillaume, Kasparek, Max, Michez, Denis, Müller, Andreas, Pauly, Alain, Risch, Stefan, Straka, Jakub, Terzo, Michael, Achter, Xavier Van, Wood, Thomas J., Nemer, Nabil (2021): The bees of Lebanon (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila).

ANTHIDIINI Bees of this tribe have been well studied by Mavromoustakis (1955, 1956, 1963) in Lebanon compared to other bee groups, and several new species and subspecies were described in those papers. Below we list the literature and occurrences from material examined with the priority name as many of these taxa have undergone status changes. The vast majority of the species collected in Bcharre and other high altitude stations were found in our collections, however several species reported in literature from lower altitudes of Mount Lebanon could not be found in our recent collections, and this probably due to a lack of sampling. Flower preferences vary within the genera, but general preference trends are consistent with the observations of Müller (1996) and Mavromoustakis (1955, 1956, 1963) from his Lebanon field data.

03F2879D6C63FFFAB4CFF9BEEE5CF820.taxon	discussion	Pérez (1911) gave the record of a Anthidium lituratum Latr., which is actually a junior synonym of Pseudoanthidium scapulare Latreille, 1809 (Schwarz et al. 1996). While Warncke (1980) summarised various closely related taxa under the name Anthidium lituratum and distinguished four subspecies, it has been understood in the meantime that it is actually a complex of species (Aguib et al. 2010). From the description of Pérez (1911), it can be concluded that his material can likely be assigned to P. cribratum, based on the coarse punctuation of the terga, possibly to “ palestinicum Mavromoustakis, 1938 ” which was described as subspecies of cribratum.	en	Boustani, Mira, Rasmont, Pierre, Dathe, Holger H., Ghisbain, Guillaume, Kasparek, Max, Michez, Denis, Müller, Andreas, Pauly, Alain, Risch, Stefan, Straka, Jakub, Terzo, Michael, Achter, Xavier Van, Wood, Thomas J., Nemer, Nabil (2021): The bees of Lebanon (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila).

03F2879D6C63FFFAB4CFF9BEEE5CF820.taxon	description	A comprehensive taxonomic revision of the complex is still required and as long as it is not available, we regard it as premature to take a final taxonomic decision. Recent material of the species collected in Lebanon was therefore not assigned to one of the species of the complex. Literature. Pérez (1911): Mount Lebanon, Broumana, 17. VI. 1908, det.

NOMADINI Genus Nomada Scopoli, 1770 16 species. This understudied and taxonomically challenging genus in the southern part of the West Palaearctic is probably one of the most species rich genera present in Lebanon because of the high species richness of their principal hosts, the Andrena. Future thorough revision of Lebanese Nomada material is likely to substantially increase the number of species present. Based on the ratio of Nomada to Andrena in Portugal (3: 5; Baldock et al. 2018, Wood et al. 2020 b) and Morocco (2: 5; Lhomme et al. 2020), we estimate a likely Lebanese species richness of between 34 – 52 species.	en	Boustani, Mira, Rasmont, Pierre, Dathe, Holger H., Ghisbain, Guillaume, Kasparek, Max, Michez, Denis, Müller, Andreas, Pauly, Alain, Risch, Stefan, Straka, Jakub, Terzo, Michael, Achter, Xavier Van, Wood, Thomas J., Nemer, Nabil (2021): The bees of Lebanon (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila).

MBOU. Flower record. Plumbaginaceae: Acantholimon libanoticum. EUCERINI Genus Eucera Scopoli, 1770 34 species. All material examined determined by Risch S. This genus is undergoing revisions in the Levant (Dorchin et al. 2018, Dorchin 2019), and the species listed here probably represents two thirds of the true richness. Many collected specimens could not be listed below as they are assigned to currently undescribed or ambiguous taxa. Synhalonia is included in the list below as a sub-genus of Eucera following Dorchin et al. (2018). The challenging taxonomy of this genus has made it difficult to gather ecological data such as floral preferences, particularly in the female sex. Eucera subgenus Eucera seem to show a trend for Fabaceae specialization, but this requires further research. Other Eucera species show either specialization on other botanical families or clear polylecty (TJW unpublished data), but substantial work is required on this genus. Because of the taxonomic uncertainty, in order to make sure that all distributions are up to date, all distributional information given has been confirmed by Risch S in addition to those presented by Ascher & Pickering 2021 and Kuhlmann et al. 2021, so no specific citation is mentioned after each species.	en	Boustani, Mira, Rasmont, Pierre, Dathe, Holger H., Ghisbain, Guillaume, Kasparek, Max, Michez, Denis, Müller, Andreas, Pauly, Alain, Risch, Stefan, Straka, Jakub, Terzo, Michael, Achter, Xavier Van, Wood, Thomas J., Nemer, Nabil (2021): The bees of Lebanon (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila).

ANTHOPHORINI Subgeneric classification follows Brooks (1988), and was verified by author Rasmont P. after examining type material. Type localities were added when the subgenus has been updated from the classification of Brooks. The floral preferences of this tribe are little known and require further investigations, especially in their eastern Mediterranean range. Many specimens of this tribe could not be assigned to a species with a sufficient level of confidence, therefore we only list the taxa that could be confirmed through coloration and morphology and by comparison to type material.

This Annex groups all of the species which we are confident have been incorrectly identified. They are therefore excluded from the list of unconfirmed species.

03F2879D6C5BFFC2B4CFF9FCE902F83F.taxon	description	Notes. Synonymised with Panurgus siculus Morawitz, 1872 by Warncke (1972). Panurgus siculus has a distribution of southern Italy, Corsica, and Sardinia (Patiny 2012). Warncke (1972) treated both P. siculus and P. posticus as subspecies of P. dentipes Latreille, 1811 due to their morphological similarity. Additionally, the P. posticus material that Warncke described from Lebanon was also from Beirut, and so we suspect that it may be the same material that Friese called P. cavannae. Certainly, we consider the presence of a Corsico-Sardinian-Italian endemic in Lebanon highly unlikely.

03F2879D6C58FFC1B4CFFDC6EF01FC8C.taxon	distribution	Distribution: Sub-Saharan Africa (Terzo & Ramont 2014). Literature. Friese (1901): Mentioned from Syria without locality details. There has been a great deal of confusion on the old records of this taxon in Northern Africa and the Levant. These records could be either referebale to either X. sulcatipes Maa, 1970 or X. ustulata Smith, 1854 (Terzo & Ramont 2014), but we feel confident that they do not correspond to true X. hottentotta.	en	Boustani, Mira, Rasmont, Pierre, Dathe, Holger H., Ghisbain, Guillaume, Kasparek, Max, Michez, Denis, Müller, Andreas, Pauly, Alain, Risch, Stefan, Straka, Jakub, Terzo, Michael, Achter, Xavier Van, Wood, Thomas J., Nemer, Nabil (2021): The bees of Lebanon (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila).
