In their paper with Michael Kuhlmann (Schmid-Egger and Kuhmann 2008) they published distribution data on Colletes graeffei Alfken, 1900 not only from Burgenland but from Slovakia and Hungary as well. High number of Slovak and Burgenland faunistic data we may find in Schmid- Egger, 1995 on Hedychridium femoratum Dhlb. and H. elegantulum Buys.
