Amegilla quadrifasciata (Villers, 1789) | ||
| Familia | Anthophoridae | |
| Ordo | Hymenoptera | |
| Classis | Insecta | |
| Typus | Arthropoda | |
| Summary | The species was found at several localities in Poland: in the Wielkopolska, Mazowsze and Silesia lowlands, Sandomierz Basin and Lublin Upland. For over 25 years its occurrence has not been confirmed in these places; however, it is possible that the species has survived somewhere in the country, in isolated localities. A strong decline in the Amegilla quadrifasciata population was caused by developing agriculture, afforestation of abandoned agrcultural land, and intensifying urbanization. The newly found localities should be immediately taken under protection. | |
