I see that the rules is:
must be in taxon Diptera or
must be in taxon Hymenoptera or
must be in taxon Lepidoptera or
must be in taxon Coleoptera or
must be in taxon Hemiptera

Do you have no bird pollinators in the Med? They are hugely important in the Cape Floristic Region (also Med climate). We also have mammal pollinators.

Only recently some opportunistic and seasonal pollination by birds has been documented in the Med. Europe (W-Palearctic) seems the only continent without these specialized nectarivorous birds (only some fossils exist). There is one species that reaches the Med. It is Cinnyris osea, but does not seem to be a good pollinator:
