Abstract: The nests used in this study were obtained from trap-nests (tubes of cardboard and cut bamboo stems) placed on Santa Carlota Farm (Itaoca Section-IS, Santana Section-SS and Cerrado-Ce), Cajuru, SP, Brazil. The number of nests and corresponding species obtained were as follows: 516 nests of T. curvitarsis, 104 of T. rugu- losa, 399 of T. diversipes and 98 of T. garofaloi. The most abundant species from SS and Ce was T. curvitarsis, and from IS it was T. diversipes. In general, most nests were collected during the hot and wet season (September to April). The nests were constructed with sand and an oily substance, and a single female established them. The cells were constructed in a linear series, sometimes followed by a vestibular cell. The number of brood cells ranged from 1 to 10 in T. curvitarsis (n=200), and in T. garofaloi (n=51), from 1 to 8 (n=30) in T. rugulosa, and from 1 to 6 (n=37) in T. diversipes. The pollen mass (pollen + oily substance) contained a hollow, sometimes divided by a transverse ridge, on the exposed face of the pollen mass. The egg was vertically positioned in the lower part of the hollow. At times, the closing of a cell was initiated before provisioning was completed, with a construction of a collar at the cell limit. In some nests the final cellular partition also acted as a closure plug. Females began activities at 6:18 a.m. and ended between 3:31 and 6:26 p.m. Some females (T. curvitarsis, T. rugulosa and T. garofaloi) did not spend the nights at their nests, returning to them only the following morning with additional material. In general, the development period (for males and females) was greater in nests col- lected near the end of the hot and wet season than it was for nests collected in other months. Sex ratios for each species were as follows: T. curvitarsis, 1:1; T. rugulosa, 1.6:1 female; T. diversipes, 1.9:1; T. garofaloi, 2.8:1. Males and females of T. diversipes exhibited statistically similar sizes and in the other three species the females were larger than the males. The mortality rates were statistically similar: 33.2% for T. curvitarsis, 25.8% for T. rugulosa, 26.8% for T. diversipes and 38.2% for T. garofaloi. The parasitoids were: Coelioxoides exulans, Leucospis cayenensis, Anthrax sp., Coelioxys sp., Coelioxoides sp. and individuals of the family Meloidae. Rev. Biol. Trop. 53(1-2): 175-186.

    Journal of Melitology Bee Biology, Ecology, Evolution, & Systematics The latest buzz in bee biology No. 94, pp. 1–3 26 February 2020 BRIEF COMMUNICATION An overlooked family-group name among bees: Availability of Coelioxoidini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Michael S. Engel1,2, Victor H. Gonzalez3, & Claus Rasmussen4 Abstract. Recent phylogenetic analysis of the family Apidae has applied the tribal name Co- elioxoidini to the distinctive genus Coelioxoides Cresson, which has been thought to be related to Tetrapedia Klug. However, the nomenclatural status of such a family-group name has not yet been assessed. Herein, we determine that this family-group name is available and discuss its authorship and proposal date. INTRODUCTION The genus Coelioxoides Cresson includes four rather wasp-like cuckoo bees (Fig. 1) that has historically been considered a close relative of their hosts in the genus Tet- rapedia Klug (Roig-Alsina, 1990; Michener, 2007). More recently, the genus has been suggested to be related to other cleptoparasitic bees, and distant from Tetrapediini (Martins et al., 2018; Bossert et al., 2019), and each has employed the tribal name Co- elioxoidini to accommodate the genus. The availability of a family-group name based on the type genus Coelioxoides was questioned by Rocha-Filho et al. (2017), who wrote, “no taxonomic study has been performed in order to assign Coelioxoides to a distinct tribe as its type genus.” Indeed, a family-group name formed from Coelioxoides was not mentioned in any of the recent 1 Division of Entomology, Natural History Museum, and Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, 1501 Crestline Drive – Suite 140, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045-4415, USA ([email protected]).

Floral-oil-producing Plantaginaceae species: geographical distribution, pollinator rewards and interactions with oil-collecting bees. Biota Neotrop. 13(4): http://www. biotaneotropica.org.br/v13n4/en/abstract?article+bn01313042013 Abstract: Floral oils as reward to pollinators occur in eleven plant families and appeared at least 28 times in the evolutionary history of flowering plants. They are produced in epithelial or tricomatic glands and collected by oil bee visitors. The present paper focuses on floral-oil-producing species of Plantaginaceae, a Neotropical group namely Angelonia clade. This group comprises around 40 described species in the genera Angelonia, Basistemon , Monttea , Monopera and the oil-less Melosperma . We present a revision of all species of the Angelonia clade, their geographical distribution, resources offered to pollinators and records of flower visitors, especially oil-collecting bees. These plants rely only on oil-collecting species in the tribe Centridini and Tapinotaspidini for a successful pollination, being the interaction between both partners an especial case of bee/flower adaptation in Neotropical region. Some bee species depend only on the oil of Plantaginaceae flowers to survive, while others can collect on several floral oil sources.

Nesting and use of pollen resources by Tetrapedia diversipes Klug (Apidae) in Atlantic Forest areas (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) in different stages of regeneration. The nesting in trap-nests and use of pollen sources in larval food by Tetrapedia diversipes Klug, 1810 (Apidae) was compared between regenerating areas of Atlantic Forest. The study was conducted between April 2008 and October 2009 at União Biological Reserve, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. T. diversipes nested in 66 trap-nests and showed a peak of nesting during the months of highest rainfall. The most frequent pollen type in brood cells during the wet season was Dalechampia sp. 1.

  • Comprehensive Phylogeny of Apid Bees Reveals the Evolutionary Origins and Antiquity of Cleptoparasitism
    Comprehensive phylogeny of apid bees reveals the evolutionary origins and antiquity of cleptoparasitism Sophie Cardinala,1, Jakub Strakab, and Bryan N. Danfortha aDepartment of Entomology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853; and bDepartment of Zoology, Charles University in Prague, CZ-12844 Prague 2, Czech Republic Edited by Gene E. Robinson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, and approved August 5, 2010 (received for review May 6, 2010) Apidae is the most speciose and behaviorally diverse family of vision nests, they lack pollen-collecting structures, and they are often bees. It includes solitary, eusocial, socially parasitic, and an excep- heavily armored relative to pollen-collecting species. Convergent tionally high proportion of cleptoparasitic species. Cleptoparasitic evolution in cleptoparasitic bees has been well-documented (17, 18), bees, which are brood parasites in the nests of other bees, have making it difficult to differentiate between features that are similar long caused problems in resolving the phylogenetic relationships because of shared ancestry versus convergence.
