Camptopoeum (Camptopoeum) baldocki spec. nov., a new European panurgine bee species is described and diagnosed. It is currently known only from saltmarshes along the southern coast of the central and eastern Algarve, Portugal. Observations and analysis of scopal pollen loads suggest narrow oligolecty on the similarly halophilous Frankenia laevis (Frankeniaceae). In addition, the allotype male of the Portuguese endemic Flavipanurgus fuzetus Patiny is described and the pollen preferences of Flavipanurgus are reviewed with the addition of new data from Portugal. As a genus, Flavipanurgus species appear to be narrowly oligolectic on a range of flowers from the botanical families Caryophyllaceae, Cistaceae and Crassulaceae.
新描述并诊断了一种欧洲新的隧蜂科蜜蜂物种——巴尔多克氏弯腹隧蜂(Camptopoeum (Camptopoeum) baldocki)。目前仅在葡萄牙阿尔加维中部和东部南岸的盐沼中发现。对花粉刷上花粉负载的观察和分析表明,它对同样嗜盐的光叶瓣鳞花(Frankenia laevis,瓣鳞花科)有狭窄的寡食性。此外,描述了葡萄牙特有种富泽黄隧蜂(Flavipanurgus fuzetus Patiny)的雄性配模标本,并结合来自葡萄牙的新数据对黄隧蜂属的花粉偏好进行了综述。作为一个属,黄隧蜂属的物种似乎对石竹科、半日花科和景天科等一系列植物的花朵有狭窄的寡食性。
