Deutsch:
Aus den zahlreichen arachnitiformen Ophrys in Südfrankreich wurde 1986 von GÖLZ und REINHARD Ophrys splendida isoliert, eine eher kleinblütige Orchidee mit auffällig orangen Rändern an den Petalen. Verbreitet ist sie in den küstennahen Provinzen der Provence. Ophrys splendida wird von der Sandbiene Andrena squalida bestäubt, wie PAULUS & GACK in Jour.Eur.Orch.31(2) berichteten.

Eine kleine Menge von wie splendida aussehende Ophrys gibt es auch an einem Standort in der Haute-Normandie in Nordfrankreich, siehe L'Orchidophile 27(124). Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, wo ich gelesen habe, dass Andrena squalida dort nicht vorkommt. Welche Biene die Orchidee dort bestäubt, ist nicht bekannt.
 
English:
Out of the numerous arachnitiforme Ophrys in Southern France GÖLZ and REINHARD isolated Ophrys splendida in 1986, a rather small flowered orchid with remarkably orange edges at the petals. Near the coast of the Provence the orchid is not rare. Ophrys splendida is pollinated by the bee Andrena squalida, as reported by PAULUS & GACK in Jour.Eur.Orch.31(2).

A small amount of Ophrys looking like splendida is also available in the Haute-Normandie in Northern France, see L'Orchidophile 27(124). I can't remember where I have read, that Andrena squalida is not occurring there. Currently it's not yet known which insect is the pollinator there.
