Atlas of the European Bees: genus Ancyla

First on line 5.IX.2014

This first version includes all available data on this very rare genus. The main source is Warncke (1979). This authors considered Tarsalia as a subgenus of Ancyla. Baker (1998) and Michener (2007) advocated the separation of these taxa with a genus level. Michener (2007) also removed the genus Tetraloniella (=Glazunovia) from Ancylaini to move it in Eucerini. We follow here the Michener's classification.

Many thanks to Jakub Straka and Sam Droege for their data and for their rare and unique pictures.

Show only this taxa Ancyla anatolica Warncke, 1979
=Ancyla holtzi ssp. anatolica Warncke, 1979
=Ancyla anatolica Straka & Rozen, 2012

This taxon has been separated from Ancyla holtzi by Straka & Rozen (2012) for the first time.
J. Straka (com pers.) made this justification: " they are so different in morphology (especially males) and living together at the same area (holtzi nests in sandy places, but anatolica in dense soil) that we [Straka & Rozen 2012] decided write about it in the paper as different full species".

Straka & Rozen (2012) also described the larvae anatomy and the nest structure.

They also seen the species foraging on Eryngium sp.

This rare species is poorly known. However Straka & Rozen (2012) recently described its nesting behaviour in Adana region (Turkey). It foraged there Daucus carota.

Thanks to Jakub Straka and Sam Droege for these unique pictures of this rare species.
