<jats:p>The bee genus <jats:italic>Pseudoanthidium</jats:italic> is represented by nine species in Europe. Of these nine species, <jats:italic>Pseudoanthidium nanum</jats:italic> is the most widespread, occurs mainly in xerothermic open habitats and creates nests in various cavity types. In this study, we provide information on the nest structure of this species in reed stalks and oak galls and about its parasitic species. We provide the first report of <jats:italic>P. nanum</jats:italic> as a host of <jats:italic>Xylophrurus augustus</jats:italic> (Ichneumonidae). The biology of the much rarer related species <jats:italic>Pseudoanthidium tenellum</jats:italic> is described here for the first time. This species occurs in terrestrial reed beds and wet meadows with the presence of reed galls and flowering plants in the family Asteraceae and is rare throughout its entire distribution area. This species nests inside reed galls induced by <jats:italic>Lipara</jats:italic> frit flies, and the nest structure is very similar to that of <jats:italic>P. nanum</jats:italic>. We report new parasitic species of this bee, namely, the cuckoo bee <jats:italic>Stelis punctulatissima</jats:italic>, the predator-inquiline <jats:italic>Gasteruption nigrescens</jats:italic> and two parasitoids, <jats:italic>Leucospis biguetina</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Miltogramma punctata</jats:italic>. This bee collects pollen mainly from wetland plants in <jats:italic>Bidens</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Pulicaria</jats:italic>. We also describe mature larvae of both species. The larvae do not differ greatly from one another; only the shape of mandibles and sclerotisation of mouthparts are slightly different. Further research should address the ecological requirements of <jats:italic>P. tenellum</jats:italic>, a poorly understood reed gall inquiline.</jats:p>
