Abstract


A review of the Iberian species of the tribe Ceratinini has been carried out, based upon data from several entomological collections and bibliographic antecedents. A total of 13 species of the genus Ceratina inhabit the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic and Canary Islands. From our current knowledge, C. cucurbitina and C. cyanea are the most frequent species, whereas C. albosticta, new for this fauna, is the rarest, with just a single record; C. gravidula is also new for the Iberian fauna. C. acuta and C. loewi, recorded for the first time by Dusmet (1923), and almost certainly based on misidentifications, are removed from the Iberian list. Finally, distribution maps for every species, a graph showing phenology, and an identification key are provided.
