Stylops californicus Pierce 1909

Stylops californicus Pierce, 1909 Stylops californica Pierce, 1909: 99, F, L1. Type locality: USA, Southern California. Host. Andrena (Tylandrena) subtilis Smith, 1879 (PIERCE 1909). Notes. PIERCE (1909) discussed close similarity with S. subcandidae. We suggest that these species might be identical. This taxonomic problem should be evaluated using barcode sequences from Stylops from A. subtilis host. No DNA sequence is known for Stylops from Tylandrena host subgenus.
