Megachile sculpturalis Smith 1853 is found for the first time on the island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). This is the first time that this exotic bee is reported from an island and is the southernmost record in Europe so far. Specimens were found in five distant locations throughout the island, which points out the current broad distribution of this species within the island and suggests that the introduction of M. sculpturalis may have happened earlier than 2020 and went unnoticed. M. sculpturalis females were found mainly feeding and collecting pollen from Sophora japonica L. 1767 (= Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) Schott 1830) and Parkinsonia aculeata L. 1753, two exotic ornamental trees. Potential entry means and impacts of this exotic bee on local biodiversity are discussed. Island ecosystems are highly vulnerable to the negative impacts produced by exotic species. Judging from the evidence of negative effects described in the literature so far, we recommend that the invasive potential and the impact of this species on native plants and pollinators within the insular context of the Balearic Islands be addressed in the future.

亚洲巨型树脂蜂Megachile sculpturalis Smith 1853(膜翅目:Apoidea:Megachilidae),一种新的外来物种,对马略卡岛的蜜蜂动物区系(西班牙巴利阿里群岛)

Megachile sculpturalis Smith 1853是首次在马略卡岛(西班牙巴利阿里群岛)上发现的。这是第一次从一个岛屿上报告这种外来蜜蜂,这是迄今为止欧洲最南端的记录。在整个岛上五个遥远的地方发现了标本,指出了该物种目前在岛上的广泛分布,这表明雕塑家M. sculpturalis的引进可能早于2020年就被人们注意到了。雕刻的M. sculpturalis雌性主要从日本Sophora japonica L. 1767)(= Styphnolobium japonicum(L.)Schott 1830)和Parkinsonia aculeata采食和采集花粉。L. 1753年,两棵奇特的观赏树木。讨论了这种外来蜂对当地生物多样性的潜在进入方式和影响。岛屿生态系统极易受到外来物种产生的负面影响。从迄今为止在文献中描述的负面影响的证据来看,我们建议将来在巴利阿里群岛的岛屿背景下解决该物种对本土植物和授粉媒介的入侵潜力和影响。
