E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. New data on 22 species of bees of the family Megachilidae from the North Caucasus and the south of European Russia are reported. Six species are new to Russia: Hoplitis curvipes (Morawitz, 1871), Osmia cinerea Warncke, 1988, O. ligurica Morawitz, 1868, O. cyanoxantha Pérez, 1879, Protosmia glutinosa (Giraud, 1871), and Coelioxys mielbergi Morawitz, 1880. Hoplitis turcestanica (Dalla Torre, 1896), sp. resurr. is treated as a distinct species, not a junior synonym of H. caularis (Morawitz, 1875). Megachile albocristata Smith, 1853 and M. alborufa Friese, 1911 are listed instead of previously recorded M. lefebvrei (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841) and M. pyrenaica (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), respectively. Fourteen new regional records are reported: seven species are new to the North Caucasus, five ones are new to the south of European Russia, and two species are new to the European part of Russia as a whole. The numbers of megachilid bee species currently known in Russia, the North Caucasus, and the south of European Russia are 217, 130, and 71, respectively. The lectotype of Osmia proxima Morawitz, 1875 is designated. Key words: Apoidea, Apiformes, fauna, taxonomy, lectotype.

Приведены новые сведения о 22 видах пчел семейства Megachilidae с Северного Кавказа и юга европейской части России. Шесть видов являются новыми для России: Hoplitis curvipes (Morawitz, 1871), Osmia cinerea Warncke, 1988, O. ligurica Morawitz, 1868, O. cyanoxantha Pérez, 1879, Protosmia glutinosa (Giraud, 1871) и Coelioxys mielbergi Morawitz, 1880. Hoplitis turcestanica (Dalla Torre, 1896), sp. resurr. рассматривается как самостоятельный вид, а не младший синоним H. caularis (Morawitz, 1875). Megachile albocristata Smith, 1853 и M. alborufa Friese, 1911 приведены вместо ранее указанных M. lefebvrei (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841) и M. pyrenaica (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841) соответственно. Сообщается о 14 новых региональных находках: семь видов новых для Северного Кавказа, пять для юга европейской части России и два для европейской части России в целом. Число видов пчел-мегахилид, известных в настоящее время в России, на Северном Кавказе и на юге европейской части России, составляет соответственно 217, 130 и 71.

This paper is a next step towards a better documentation The family Megachilidae is one of the most of the megachilid bee fauna of the North Caucasus and understudied groups of bees in the fauna of Russia, in neighboring regions of the European part of Russia. particular, the southern regions of the country such as the North Caucasus or the south of European Russia. Material and methods After the publication of the “Annotated Catalogue of the Hymenoptera of Russia” with 198 species of megachilid The material for the present study was collected mainly bees [Proshchalykin, Fateryga, 2017], several additional in 2018–2019 by the authors.

  • Wild Bees of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument: Richness, Abundance, and Spatio-Temporal Beta-Diversity
    Wild bees of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument: richness, abundance, and spatio-temporal beta-diversity Olivia Messinger Carril1, Terry Griswold2, James Haefner3 and Joseph S. Wilson4 1 Santa Fe, NM, United States of America 2 USDA-ARS Pollinating Insects Research Unit, Logan, UT, United States of America 3 Biology Department, Emeritus Professor, Utah State University, Logan, UT, United States of America 4 Department of Biology, Utah State University - Tooele, Tooele, UT, United States of America ABSTRACT Interest in bees has grown dramatically in recent years in light of several studies that have reported widespread declines in bees and other pollinators. Investigating declines in wild bees can be difficult, however, due to the lack of faunal surveys that provide baseline data of bee richness and diversity. Protected lands such as national monuments and national parks can provide unique opportunities to learn about and monitor bee populations dynamics in a natural setting because the opportunity for large-scale changes to the landscape are reduced compared to unprotected lands. Here we report on a 4-year study of bees in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM), found in southern Utah, USA. Using opportunistic collecting and a series of standardized plots, we collected bees throughout the six-month flowering season for four consecutive years. In total, 660 bee species are now known from the area, across 55 genera, and including 49 new species. Two genera not previously known to occur in the state of Utah were discovered, as well as 16 new species records for the state. Bees include ground-nesters, cavity- and twig-nesters, cleptoparasites, narrow specialists, generalists, solitary, and social species.

Of these, Osmia (Helicosmia) labialis Pérez, 1879 is new for Turkey as well Asian Continenet. For the known species new distribution records were provided and the plant species visited were included. Majority of the Turkish species, about 70%, are associated with Europe, mainly Mediterranean basin. Therefore, many species are in Mediterranean and East-Mediterranean chorotypes. Where as about 30% are associated with Asia, most of them are in the Southwest-Asiatic chorotype, 13 species could be accepted as Anatolian endemics. Two taxa, Osmia (Hoplosmia) bidentata pallens (Tkalcu, 1979) and Protosmia (Protosmia) monstrosa (Pérez, 1895) occur in Asia and North Africa. Key words: Hymenoptera: Megachilidae, Osmiini, Haetosmia, Osmia, Protosmia, fauna, new record, chorotype, Turkey.

Key words: Apiformes, Chelostoma, Hoplitis, Protosmia Introduction The osmiine bees constitute a monophyletic tribe within the family Megachilidae (Michener, 2007; Praz et al., 2008). They occur on all continents except South America (but see Gonzalez & Griswold, 2011), Australia and Antarctica and comprise 15 genera and about 1000 described species worldwide (Michener, 2007; Ungricht et al., 2008; Müller, 2012). They are especially diversified in mediterranean and desertic climates of southern Africa, southwestern North America and the Palaearctic. With 10 genera and almost 600 described species, the Palaearctic osmiine bee fauna is particularly diverse (Müller, 2012).

  • The Situation in the Northern Caucasus 2009-2010: Human Rights Violations Stemming from the Antiterrorism Campaign Continue
    The Situation in the Northern Caucasus 2009-2010: Human Rights Violations Stemming from the Antiterrorism Campaign Continue September 2010 As a follow-up to the report “Russian Society Under Control: Abuses in the fight against extremism and terrorism”1 published in July 2009, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the Human Rights Center Memorial present a briefing note on the situation in the Northern Caucasus. Description of situation in the region as a whole The Northern Caucasus continues to be one of the worst regions in Russia with regard to respect for human rights. Although the situations in the various republics and krais [territories] of the Northern Caucasus differ appreciably, certain factors that exert an extremely negative influence on the evolution of the human rights situation affect a substantial portion of the area. These include: • continuing armed opposition. In the Northern Caucasus, there is an armed underground that employs terrorism in its fight against the Russian Government; • the policy of state terror which Russian security forces follow, in turn, in their campaign against the terrorist underground, as part of which they defiantly violate the law and blatantly trample human rights; • the impunity with which government personnel have been allowed to commit large-scale crimes in the course of “counterterrorism operations”2; • corruption, which is extremely high even in comparison with the rest of Russia; • arbitrary actions of government personnel; • a high level of unemployment; • antagonism between those advocating “traditional” Islam for the Northern Caucuses and the those espousing the fundamentalist “Salafi” Islam, which is relatively new for this region.

  • Phylogeny of the Bee Family Megachilidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) Based on Adult Morphology
    Systematic Entomology (2012), 37, 261–286 Phylogeny of the bee family Megachilidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) based on adult morphology VICTOR H. GONZALEZ1, TERRY GRISWOLD1,CHRISTOPHEJ. PRAZ2,3 and BRYAN N. DANFORTH2 1USDA-ARS, Bee Biology and Systematics Laboratory, Utah State University, Logan, UT, U.S.A., 2Department of Entomology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, U.S.A. and 3Laboratory of Evolutionary Entomology, University of Neuchatel, Neuchatel, Switzerland Abstract. Phylogenetic relationships within the bee family Megachilidae are poorly understood. The monophyly of the subfamily Fideliinae is questionable, the relation- ships among the tribes and subtribes in the subfamily Megachilinae are unknown, and some extant genera cannot be placed with certainty at the tribal level. Using a cladistic analysis of adult external morphological characters, we explore the rela- tionships of the eight tribes and two subtribes currently recognised in Megachilidae. Our dataset included 80% of the extant generic-level diversity, representatives of all fossil taxa, and was analysed using parsimony. We employed 200 characters and selected 7 outgroups and 72 ingroup species of 60 genera, plus 7 species of 4 extinct genera from Baltic amber. Our analysis shows that Fideliinae and the tribes Anthidiini and Osmiini of Megachilinae are paraphyletic; it supports the monophyly of Megachilinae, including the extinct taxa, and the sister group relationship of Lithurgini to the remaining megachilines. The Sub-Saharan genus Aspidosmia,a rare group with a mixture of osmiine and anthidiine features, is herein removed from Anthidiini and placed in its own tribe, Aspidosmiini, new tribe. Protolithurgini is the sister of Lithurgini, both placed herein in the subfamily Lithurginae; the other extinct taxa, Glyptapina and Ctenoplectrellina, are more basally related among Megachilinae than Osmiini, near Aspidosmia, and are herein treated at the tribal level.

Gonzalez1,2, Grey T. Gustafson2,3, & Michael S. Engel2,3,4 Abstract. A unique feature among bees is the ability of some species of Megachile Latreille s.l. to cut and process fresh leaves for nest construction. The presence of a razor between the female mandibular teeth (interdental laminae) to facilitate leaf-cuting (LC) is a morphological novelty that might have triggered a subsequent diversifcation in this group. However, we have a lim- ited understanding of the phylogeny of this group despite the large number of described species and the origins and paterns of variations of this mandibular structure are unknown. Herein, using a cladistic analysis of adult external morphological characters, we explored the relation- ships of all genera of Megachilini and the more than 50 subgenera of Megachile s.l. We coded 272 characters for 8 outgroups and 114 ingroup species.
