Clavipanurgus Warncke, 1972

European bees

Clavipanurgus anatolicus (Warncke, 1972)

Species in Clavipanurgus can easily be grouped based on morphological resemblance. Clavipanurgus anatolicus fall then in the group of species displaying complex structures associated with males sexparts, previously defined as the stylus-clavatus species group (Patiny, 2003)

Clavipanurgus cavus (Warncke, 1987)

Clavipanurgus clavatus (Warncke, 1972)

Clavipanurgus desertus (Warncke, 1987)

This species is endemic in Southern Morocco and consequently completely disjuncted of the other species distribution (almost endemic in Turkey and western Arabian Peninsula). This species is seemingly closely related to the eastern species with less modified sex parts and associated structures (impressus species-group).

Clavipanurgus eurystylus Patiny, 2002

Clavipanurgus gusenleitneri Patiny, 2004

Clavipanurgus gusenleitneri (4 specimens)

Clavipanurgus impressus (Warncke, 1972)

Clavipanurgus orientalicus (Warncke, 1972)

As in most species, females are hard to identify. On the contrary, males are straight forward recognized based on the typical tapering of S8 apex.

Clavipanurgus orientalicus (72 specimens)

Clavipanurgus punctiventris (Morawitz, 1876)

Clavipanurgus punctiventris (274 specimens)

Clavipanurgus sculpturatus (Morawitz, 1873)

Clavipanurgus sculpturatus is easily recognisable thanks to its size (larger than any other species in the genus) and strong enlargement of the male gonostyli. It is also the most westernly distributed species, with well identified populations in Balkans.

Clavipanurgus sculpturatus (224 specimens)

Clavipanurgus stylus (Warncke, 1987)
