Megachile (Callomegachile) sculpturalis Smith, 1853 (Apoidea: Megachilidae): a new exòtic species in the Iberian Peninsula, and some notes about its biology

The exotic bee Megachile sculpturalis has colonized the European continent in the last decade, including some Mediterranean countries
such as France and Italy. In summer 2018 it was recorded for the first time in Spain, from several sites in Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula).
Here we give details on these first records and provide data on its biology, particularly of nesting and floral resources, mating behaviour and
interactions with other species.
