Type: article

Abstract: Amegilla (Zebramegilla) talaris (Pérez, 1895) Notes. The species was previously considered conspecific with Amegilla albigena (Lepeletier, 1841) by some authors (but not by Maurits Lieftinck or Donald Baker), and a careful revision of material from both taxa confirms that they are two distinct species. The type material has been examined (MNHN) and genetic data generated (Wood et al. 2024); Amegilla talaris will be treated in detail in an upcoming work focused on Amegilla (Rasmont & Wood, in prep). Regional distribution. Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, Oriental, Fès-Meknès, Béni Mellal-Khénifra, Marrakech-Safi, Drâa-Tafilalet; Souss-Massa Global distribution. Morocco, France, Spain, Portugal, Algeria and Tunisia (Rasmont & Wood, in prep.).
