Although tiny morphological features allow to distinguish the females of both species, males remain unidentifiable based on visual examination only.

[1] The discovery of Dasypoda radchenkoi as a separate species was initially fortuitous via the genetic barcoding of two specimens, one being the holotype female and the other being a paratype male.

[1] The species flies in May and June and collects floral resources on plants of the genus Cistus (Cistaceae).

[1] After the formal description if D. radchenkoi at the University of Mons, the holotype female was sent to the Museum of Linz, in Austria, where it now hosted.

[1] The species is dedicated to Prof. Vladimir G. Radchenko, worldwide authority on the ecology and taxonomy of bees, and head of the Department of General Biology at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
