Very recently in 2003 DELFORGE decribed the small flowered Ophrys brutia from Calabria in Natural.Belges 84 (Orchid.16), which he assumes as closely related to Ophrys incubacea and Ophrys sphegodes s.str.. To achieve a closer assignment, it would be good to know the pollinating insect of the orchid.
