 Comments
       
  Comment: Regarding Osmia leiana[sic] (Kirby, 1802), Richards stated in 1935, "Two species were long confused under this name, but only one...is found in Britain. Osmia hirta Smith, 1844 is a synonym. The other species is commonly known as Osmia fulviventris (Panz.), but Apis fulviventris Panzer, 1798 is preoccupied by Apis fulviventris Scopoli, 1763 (an unrecognized species of Sphecodes). O. fulviventris Latreille, given as a synonym by Dalla Torre in his Catalogue, is a misprint...The correct name would appear to be Osmia ventralis (Panzer)=Apis ventralis Panzer, 1798. O. atra Schenck, 1853 may be a synonym."
