Abstract

Available information about bees of the genus Epeolus (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in the Palaearctic region is summarized. Forty-eight species are currently known from this area. A new synonymy is proposed for Epeolus tsushimensis Cockerell, 1926=E. japonicus Bischoff, 1930, syn. nov. and a lectotype is designated for E. fallax Morawitz, 1872. The first illustrated key and an updated catalogue of all 48 species known from the Palaearctic region are provided. Brief information about the history of the study and distribution patterns of these сleptoparasitic bees is also included.
