To date, 1.5 million species of organisms have been recorded, although around 85% of potential species (some 10 million) have not yet been identified. In the case of the Neotropics, although insects are clearly a vital element, there are many families of organisms and regions that are yet to be well researched. -

New Record of Stingless Bees (Meliponini: Trigona) in Thailand
The Natural History Journal of Chulalongkorn University 5(1): 1-7, May 2005 ©2005 by Chulalongkorn University New Record of Stingless Bees (Meliponini: Trigona) in Thailand ATSALEK KLAKASIKORN, SIRIWAT WONGSIRI*, SUREERAT DEOWANISH AND ORAWAN DUANGPHAKDEE Department of Biology Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, THAILAND ABSTRACT.–Stingless bees, of which over 500 species are recorded, are found mostly in tropical countries. Species are classified into five genera: Melipona, Trigona, Meliponula, Dectylurina and Lestrimelitta. Trigona is an extensive genus of the Meliponini tribe found in tropical regions of all continents. Stingless bees in this study were collected from the western, eastern and northern regions of Thailand between 2002 and 2003. Ten species of Trigona were identified and two species, Trigona binghami and Trigona minor, are new records to the list of 30 species recorded by Schwarz (1939), Sakagami et al. (1985) and Michener and Boongird (2004) making a total of 32 stingless bees in Trigona that are currently recorded from Thailand. The newly recorded species were found in HM Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden in Maerim, Chiang Mai, Chanthaburi and Mae Hong Son Provinces, Thailand. KEY WORDS: New record, Stingless bees, Meliponini, Trigona, Trigona binghami, Trigona minor Dectylurina and Lestrimelitta. Trigona is a INTRODUCTION genus of the Meliponini tribe which is found extensively in tropical regions. It ranges from Stingless bees are a group of eusocial insects the Neotropics, from Mexico to Argentina. In which play an important role in the pollination the Indo-Australian region it extends from India process of plant life, particularly wild flowers and Sri Lanka to Taiwan, the Solomon Islands, in most tropical countries (Heard, 1999). -
