An annotated list of seven species of rarely collected and little-known bees of the genus Colletes from Siberia is given, including five species whose ranges within the region are enlarged. Colletesravuloides Kuhlmann & Proshchalykin, sp. nov. is described from Tyva Republic (Russia). An updated checklist of the 27 species of Colletes so far known from Siberia is provided.

Introduction
Siberia is a major geographical region (total area about 13,100,000 km2) extends eastwards from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and includes most of the drainage basin of the Arctic Ocean. The river Yenisey divides Siberia into two parts: Western and Eastern (Fig. 1).

There are currently about 490 species of bees known from Siberia (Lelej et al. 2017), although this is undoubtedly a gross underrepresentation due to sparse sampling that has been done on the fauna, and new records and species are frequently discovered (Byvaltsev et al. 2018, 2021; Byvaltsev and Proshchalykin 2019; Proshchalykin and Müller 2019; Sidorov et al. 2020; Litman et al. 2021; Astafurova and Proshchalykin 2022; Sidorov and Proshchalykin 2022).
The genus Colletes Latreille, 1802 currently includes roughly 520 described species with an estimated total of about 700 species (Kuhlmann and Proshchalykin 2011) from all continents except Antarctica and Oceania (Michener 2007; Kuhlmann 2014). In recent years significant progress has been made towards a better knowledge of species of Colletes in Russia (Kuhlmann and Proshchalykin 2011, 2014; Proshchalykin and Kuhlmann 2012, 2015, 2019, 2020). Currently 53 species are known from this country (Proshchalykin and Kuhlmann 2020). Considering our latest data, the genus Colletes is one of the best studied genera among the bees of Siberia.
Based on a study of recently collected specimens we here provide additional geographical data for seven rarely collected and little-known species of Colletes, with one species described as new and five species recorded from certain regions of Siberia for the first time. Including published records, a total of 27 species are now known from this region (Western Siberia – 18; Eastern Siberia – 26) (Table 1). The number of Colletes species in the fauna of Russia is now increased to 54.

Materials and methods
The results presented in this paper are based on 115 specimens newly collected in Siberia and currently housed in the
Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg, Russia, ZISP);
Federal Scientific Center of the East Asia Terrestrial Biodiversity, Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences (Vladivostok, Russia, FSCV) and the
research collection of M. Kuhlmann at the Zoological Museum of Kiel University (Kiel, Germany, RCMK).
Notes on the general distribution of species follow Proshchalykin (2017) and Proshchalykin and Kuhlmann (2018).
Morphological terminology as well as measurements used in the descriptions follow those of Michener (2007). Puncture density is expressed as the relationship between puncture diameter (d) and the space between them (i), such as i = 1.5d or i < d. The letters T and S are used as abbreviations of metasomal tergum and sternum, respectively. Body length is measured from the vertex to the tip of the metasoma in profile.
Images were taken with a digital microscope (Keyence VHX-5000) using the VH-Z20R/Z20T (20× to 200×) zoom lens and the OP-42305 super diffused illumination adapter. Images were stacked for extended depth-of-field and processed using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 (Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, Republic of Ireland) and then assembled into the figure plates.

Paratype: 1 ♂, same data as Holotype (RCMK).
Diagnosis.
According to the male S7 the new species is apparently closely related to two other very rarely collected and little-known species: Colletestardus Noskiewicz, 1936, that is only known from southern Ukraine (Proshchalykin and Kuhlmann 2012), and C.ravulus Noskiewicz, 1936, that so far has only been recorded by a few specimens from Siberia (Buryatia Republic, Tyva Republic), NE Mongolia and China (Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shanxi) (Kuhlmann and Proshchalykin 2011; Niu et al. 2014; Proshchalykin and Kuhlmann 2015). As far as known no specimen of C.tardus has survived in museum collections but according to the detailed description of Noskiewicz (1936: 294) the male of C.ravuloides differs from this species by the lack of short appressed hair on the disc of T1 (Fig. 3A), shorter hind basitarsus (Fig. 3B), S7 longer with posteriolateral corner tapered (Fig. 4A) (in C.tardus rounded like in C.ravulus (Fig. 4C)) and gonostylus slightly narrower. Colletesravuloides and C.ravulus apparently occur in the same region and are very similar in appearance (Fig. 2A–D). In C.ravulus the punctation of scutum and T1 is finer and denser (Fig. 3C), discs of T3-4 without short erect blackish hair, hind basitarsus longer (Fig. 3D), posteriolateral corner of S7 rounded and apical emargination deeper (Fig. 4C), gonostylus slighthly longer and apically rounded (Fig. 4D). The male of C.ravuloides is best identified by the unique shape of S7 (Fig. 4A) in combination with the shortened hind basitarsus (Fig. 3B).

Discussion
In the present study, we list new records for six species of the genus Colletes from various localities in Siberia and describe a seventh. Together with published records, 27 Colletes species are currently known to occur in Siberia (Table 1). For comparison, 54 species have been recorded from Russia so far, with 38 species occurring in the European part, 13 in the Ural and eleven in the Far East (Proshchalykin 2017; Proshchalykin and Kuhlmann 2019, 2020). The Siberian Colletes fauna is composed of twelve widespread trans-Palaearctic or Euro-Asian species. Among these, six species are distributed from Europe to the Russian Far East and the eastern provinces of China, such as Colleteschengtehensis, C.collaris, C.cunicularius, C.daviesanus, C.floralis, and C.impunctatus. The other 15 Siberian Colletes species have smaller distribution ranges being restricted to the eastern Palaearctic. Among these, Colletescinerascens, C.ebmeri, C.friesei, C.kaszabi, C.laevifrons, and C.ravulus have their main distribution in Central Asia, Mongolia and China, but also occur in steppes and semi-deserts of the Russian Altai, Buryatia and Tyva Republics. The new species (Colletesravuloides sp. nov.) is steppe Siberian endemic distributed in south part of Tyva Republic.
The number of Siberian Colletes species is supposed to be at least one fourth higher than known so far. We expect that several species that are known from Mongolia, Kazakhstan or northern China also occur in Siberia, such as Colletesannejohnae Kuhlmann, 2003, C.conradti Noskiewicz, 1936, C.edentuloides Kuhlmann, 2011, C.morawitzi Noskiewicz, 1936, or C.pauljohni Kuhlmann, 2002.
