The presence of Sphecodes puncticeps Thomson, 1870, a cleptoparasitic species in Algeria was also confirmed by Chichoune et al (2018). At least, Andrena taraxaci and three species of Megachilidae (Megachile albisecta, M. marginata, and M. minutissima) were added to the faunistic list of wild bees in Algeria (Bouti, Berkani, Doumandji, & Quaranta, 2020).…”

Background More than 20,000 species in the superfamily Apoidea have been identified worldwide. This superfamily includes the most important group of insect pollinators that contribute to the integrity of ecosystems. Main body We have gathered in this paper data from many previous works in Northern Africa and Middle East regions. Some of these data are date from many years ago and others are recent. We present here a non-exhaustive list of some common Apoid species. In addition, certain previous studies that were published and other current research opportunities were suggested. Conclusion Although there are many bee experts in the Arab world, i.e., in apiculture, however, a few researchers are interested in melittology even though it seems that this region represents a large bee diversity.

“…Later studies were performed by Louadi andDoumandji (1998a, 1998b) and Louadi (1999) but only species of the genera Halictus and Lasioglossum harvested in Constantine NE Algeria were listed.

Between 2015 and 2017 we conducted a survey on Apoidea (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) and their distribution in several regions of northern Algeria. Among these pollinating insects captured on natural and cultivated vegetation we found four 1new species of Apoidea fauna for Algeria. These previously unreported species belonged to two families: Andrenidae and Megachilidae. We include a taxaxonomic list of the species recorded, together with their geographical distribution, altitude where found, habitat, flight periods, and flowers visited. A fifth species that was known to exist but was not documented has also been added to the list. list.

“…However, recent works use the classification of Michener (2007) and Danforth et al (2008) who divided halictid bees into four subfamilies (Halictinae Thomson, 1869;Nomiinae Robertson, 1904;Nomioidinae Börner, 1919;Rophitinae Schenck, 1866). Halictinae is the most species-diversified subfamily, with more than 80% of Halictidae species (Chichoune et al, 2018) distributed throughout all continents, except the tribe Augochlorini, which is recorded only in America.…”

“…In fact, in the framework of their works on pollination and pollinators, Algerian researchers have reported new halictid species and confirmed the presence of some others. For instance, Louadi (1999) reported four species and subspecies of Halictus and Lasioglossum as new for Algerian fauna; Louadi et al (2007) recorded four species of halictid bees in Constantine; Louadi et al (2008) established a list containing 60 species of the Halictidae family in eastern Algeria; and recently Chichoune et al (2018) provided new data on halictid bees in the Batna region of eastern Algeria. Similarly, in Morocco, the monograph about the wild bees of Morocco established by Lhomme et al (2020) stands as the most famous and recently completed work from a North African country.…”

The first checklist of halictid bees (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) in Tunisia is established based on available data in the literature. This list contains 114 species belonging to four subfamilies (Halictinae Thomson; Nomiinae Robertson; Nomioidinae Börner; Rophitinae Schenck) and nine genera. The genus Lasioglossum Curtis within the subfamily Halictinae is the most diverse with 51 species and subspecies. The highest number of species is reported in the Tunisian south region with 51 species and subspecies. For each species, the global and provincial distribution in Tunisia is given based on the relevant literature. 40 taxa are without specific locality in Tunisia and confirmation of their presence in the country is needed. All reported species from Tunisia are Palaearctic and more than 20% of them have an exclusive north African distribution and among them, five species are endemic to Tunisia. This study is an initiative for further research on local wild bee faunas aiming to suggest their conservation strategies.
