Stelis (Stelis) simillima Morawitz, 1876

A univoltine species, flying in the summer in July and August. In Algeria, it is reported to fly in May and June (Aguib et al., 2014)


The two
specimens were found more than two kilometer apart from each other, so they are
likely to stem from different populations. They were found in the same locations
where also their possible nest host Lithurgus chrysurus (Tab. 2 and Fig. 1) and several
specimens of the genera Anthidium, Chelostoma and Osmia had been found
(Kouakou et al., unpublished data). According to Amiet et al. (2004), this univoltine
species flies in July and August. Detailed information on synonymous species
names is given in the Appendix.
