The bee genus Borgatomelissa Patiny, 2000 (Anthophila: Andrenidae: Panurginae) is found across North Africa, the Sahel, and throughout the Arabian Peninsula. Using both morphology and DNA barcodes, a new species, B. samailensissp. n., is described from Oman, increasing the known number of species to four. Due to the holotype of B. brevipennis Walker, 1871 being lost, we designate a neotype from a specimen collected from Oman. Additionally, new country records are documented herein for B. flavimaura Ortiz-Sánchez and Patiny, 2019 and B. brevipennis, based on specimens housed in the collections of the Natural History Museum, London and Biologiezentrum Linz, Austria. A key to the species in the genus is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
