Abstract
Between 2016 and 2021, several habitat sites in Malta were surveyed for wildbees by sweep netting patches with insect-pollinated flowering plants. These surveys haveled to an updated checklist of the bees of the Maltese Islands, which is provided in thisarticle. The species Andrena flavilabris Schenck 1874, Andrena florentina Magretti 1883,and Ceratina dentiventris Gerstaecker 1869 are recorded for the first time in the MalteseIslands (Central Mediterranean), and notes on the distribution of each species are alsoincluded. With the new additions to this checklist, the total number of species recordedin Malta is 105 species belonging to five families, namely Andrenidae (20 species), Apidae(35 species), Colletidae (6 species), Halictidae (19 species), and Megachilidae (25 species).
