Abstract :
[en] With its diverserange of climates and landscapes, the Middle East offers a remarkable area for the study of bee taxonomy and biogeography. In this work, a new species of pantaloon bee (Dasypoda delectabilis Ghisbain & Michez sp. nov.) is described from a single male collected in south-eastern Iran. Although the new species shows affinities with the subgenus Heterodasypoda Michez, its morphology is highly intriguing due to the presence of characters shared by representatives of the subgenus Dasypoda sensu stricto Latreille. A diagnostic comparison with phenotypically close Dasypoda species is provided, along with comparative remarks on the morphology and biogeography of the subgenus Heterodasypoda. Finally, a checklist of the genus Dasypoda is given for the Middle East, highlighting the need for increased attention to this highly interesting yet largely overlooked fauna. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:EBB22897-6F94-4544-AA03-CC97AACE344B.
