Flavipanurgus is a small genus of panurgine bees known only from the Iberian Peninsula. Despite its status as one of the few bee genera endemic to Europe, Flavipanurgus are poorly represented in collections and until recently, their ecology had been almost unknown. Flavipanurgus ibericus (Warncke, 1972) was described from southern Iberia, with a northern subspecies F. i. kastiliensis (Warncke, 1987) later described from the north. Recent collections in Portugal have revealed clear differences in the pollen collecting patterns of the two taxa, with southern females collecting exclusively from Jasione montana and northern females from Sedum species. In combination with this ecological difference, COI and 28S barcode data indicate that Flavipanurgus kastiliensis stat. nov. should be raised to full species status. The male of Flavipanurgus ibericus s. str. is described for the first time, and updated keys to Flavipanurgus species are provided. Flavipanurgus fuzetus Patiny, 1999 is recorded for the first time from Spain. Further significant records and new floral associations for Flavipanurgus are also presented.
黄腹拟地蜂是拟地蜂属的一个小属，仅分布于伊比利亚半岛。尽管它是欧洲少数特有的蜜蜂属之一，但在馆藏标本中该属的代表性不足，直到最近，它们的生态学几乎还不为人所知。伊比利亚黄腹拟地蜂（Flavipanurgus ibericus）（Warncke，1972）是根据伊比利亚半岛南部的标本描述的，后来又从北部描述了一个北方亚种——卡斯蒂利亚黄腹拟地蜂（F. i. kastiliensis）（Warncke，1987）。最近在葡萄牙的采集揭示了这两个分类群在花粉采集模式上的明显差异，南部的雌性仅采集山地霞草（Jasione montana）的花粉，而北部的雌性采集景天属植物的花粉。结合这种生态差异，细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（COI）和28S条形码数据表明，卡斯蒂利亚黄腹拟地蜂（Flavipanurgus kastiliensis）应提升为独立物种。首次描述了指名伊比利亚黄腹拟地蜂（Flavipanurgus ibericus s. str.）的雄性，并提供了更新后的黄腹拟地蜂属物种检索表。首次记录了1999年发现的西班牙黄腹拟地蜂（Flavipanurgus fuzetus Patiny）。还介绍了黄腹拟地蜂的其他重要记录和新的访花关联。
