Abstract
Wild bee communities of Sardinia and Corsica, two Mediterranean islands, have been relatively understudied. In this article, Lasioglossum inexpectatum sp. nov., which is known exclusively in Sardinia and Corsica, is described, emphasizing the importance of ongoing research and conservation efforts to protect the unique wild bee biodiversity in the Mediterranean basin.

Keywords
Bees, endemic, Mediterranean basin, islands, integrative taxonomy

Lasioglossum inexpectatum sp. nov., une nouvelle espèce de Sardaigne et de Corse (Hymenoptera : Apoidea : Halictidae)

Résumé
Les communautés d’Abeilles sauvages de Sardaigne et de Corse, deux îles méditerranéennes, ont été relativement peu étudiées. Cet article décrit une nouvelle espèce, Lasioglossum inexpectatum sp. nov., connue exclusivement de Sardaigne et de Corse, montrant l’importance de poursuivre les efforts de recherche et de conservation pour protéger la biodiversité originale d’abeilles sauvages dans le Bassin méditerranéen.

Mots-clefs
