Abstrakt: New findings and localities of a rare cleptoparasitic bee Coelioxys alata
Förster, 1853 are presented. Up to now, this species has been known in the
Czech Republic only from Moravia and only one record has been known from
Slovakia. In 2003 and 2004, it was collected at three localities in Bohemia and
one in Slovakia. Its host species, Megachile ligniseca (Kirby, 1802), is known
from wet habitats and was collected together with C. alata in two cases.
Coelioxys alata is probably not as rare as considered so far since it occurs in
wetlands and is therefore overlooked by collectors.
