(1978: 296, as C. lebedewi): Ukraine; Warncke (1978: 334, as C. lebedewi): Ukraine. Distribution in Ukraine (Fig. 4 a). Cherkasy Prov., Poltava Prov., Kherson Prov., Crimea. General distribution. Portugal, Spain, France, Hungary, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Egypt, Cyprus, Syria, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Iran. Remarks. Colletes lebedewi is here recognized as a synonym of C. maidli. Although both species were described in the same publication (Noskiewicz 1936) C. maidli is given precedence over C. lebedewi because the former is widespread in the Mediterranean region, much more commonly collected and its name used in a recently published key for the identification of Iberian Colletes (Ortiz-Sánchez et al. 2004). Both species were described based on a relatively small number of specimens: C. lebedewi: 5 Ƥ and 9 3 and C. maidli: 23 Ƥ and 26 3. Based on a much more extensive dataset of 210 Ƥ and 339 3 from the entire distribution range (lebedewi: 14 Ƥ, 22 3; maidli: 196 Ƥ, 317 3) it became clear that the few and subtle distinguishing characters of punctation & pilosity fall within the range of variation of C. maidli. Male genitalia and S 7 are identical in both taxa. Variation in the morphology of hairs on metasomal terga and particularly the apical tergal hair bands is common in some species related to C. maidli like C. dusmeti Noskiewicz (Kuhlmann 2007) and is particularly pronounced in C. eous Morice and C. nigricans Gistel (Kuhlmann 2000).
