Taxonomic Index of Bees* Appendix A Taxonomic Index of Bees* *The names of species (or subspecies) were organized by the speci fi c (or subspeci fi c) epithet (e.g., Apis mellifera must be searched as mellifera , Apis and Apis mellifera scutellata as scutellata , Apis mellifera ). Species referred as sp. or spp. are indicated only by the generic name (e.g., Anthophora sp. appears only as Anthophora ). Also, species named approximately to another one, mentioned as af fi nis , near, sp. gr., etc., can be found in the name of the af fi ned species (e.g., Scaptotrigona aff . depilis appears as depili s, Scaptotrigona ). Names in bold are junior synonyms (senior syn- onyms are indicated in brackets). acapulconis (Strand, 1919), Geotrigona , 101, 140, 395 acapulconis Strand, 1919, Trigona , 557 ailyae Camargo, 1980, Partamona , 78 alfkeni Friese, 1900, Trigona , 75 Alphaneura Gray, 1832 (= Trigona ), 7 amalthea (Olivier, 1789), Trigona , 79, 94, 103 Amalthea Ra fi nesque, 1815 (= Trigona ), 7 amazonensis (Ducke, 1916), Trigona , 80 Andrena Fabricius, 1775, 3 anduzei (Schwarz, 1943), Paratrigona , 78, 81 angustula (Latreille, 1811), Tetragonisca , 91, 102, 117, 141, 298, 375, 395 angustula (Latreille, 1811), Tetragonisca angustula , 91, 102, 117, 141, 274, 298, 375, 395 angustula Latreille, 1811, Trigona (Frieseomelitta) angustula , 557 angustula Latreille, 1811, Trigona ( Tetragonisca ), 79 angustula Latreille, 1811, Trigona ( Tetragonisca ) angustula, xiv, 11, 79, anthidioides Lepeletier, 1836, Melipona quadrifasciata , 412, 530, 531, 543 Anthophora Latreille, 1803, 175 Aparatrigona Moure, 1951, 7, 20, 92 Aphaneura Gray, 1832 (= Trigona ), 7 apiformis (Buysson, in Du Buysson & Marshall, 1892), Melipona, 77, 82 P.

Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. 2019. Dibimbing Oleh Wahidin Teguh Sasongko, M.Sc dan Etyn Yunita M.Si Ketersediaan pakan hijauan terbatas tergantung dengan musim. Jerami padi belum dimanfaatkan secara maksimal untuk pakan ternak ruminansia karena kandungan nutrisinya rendah. Teknologi pakan ternak dengan pembuatan silase dapat mengawetkan sekaligus mempertahankan bahkan dapat meningkatkan kualitas nutrisi bahan pakan. Bacillus circulans berpotensi untuk ditambahkan pada pembuatan silase. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah penambahan B.circulans pada pembuatan silase mampu meningkatkan kualitas fermentatif dan kualitas nutrisi silase jerami padi dan untuk mengetahui pada konsentrasi berapa B.circulans mampu meningkatkan kualitas fermentatif dan kualitas nutrisi silase jerami padi. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan penambahan B.circulans (0%, 0,075%, 0,1%, dan 0,125%) dan empat pengulangan. Analisis kualitas fermentatif dan nutrisi dilakukan pada hari ke 21. Hasil silase jerami padi dengan penambahan B.circulans 0,125% memiliki pH lebih rendah dari 0%, namun masih pada kisaran pH basa.

ABSTRACT Until now almost nothing was known of invertebrates such as wild bees in the Bamenda highland forest region in Cameroon. This study focuses on honey producing bee species which do not possess functional stings. The diversity of the stingless bees in this area as well as their nest biology and behaviour was studied. In all, Six species of stingless bees grouped into four genera exist in the Bamenda afro-montane forests. The four genera are: Meliponula (3 species), Dactylurina (1species), Hypotrigona (1 species) and Liotrigona (1species). The most represented of the species in Bamenda was Liotrigona. Stingless bees were found to have huge variations in habitat preferences and in nest architectures. Nest designs differ with species as well as the habitats. Nest were found in tree trunks, mud walls, traditional hives, in soils or even just attached to tree branches. Brood cells and storage pots differ from species to species.

The current descriptions for the species within this genus are inadequate for the identification of specimens in either the field or the laboratory. Here, using multiple diagnostic methodologies, we attempted to better delimit morphologically identified groups within Austroplebeia . First, morphological data, based on worker bee colour, size and pilosity, were analysed. Then, males collected from nests representing morphologically similar groups were dissected, and their genitalia were imaged using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Next, data for the geometric morphometric analysis of worker wing venations were obtained.

Stingless bees are abundant and diverse key actors in several plant-pollinator networks in the neotropics, but little is known about their natural history and ecology. This study aims to contribute to knowledge about the diversity and dispersion of stingless bees and discusses the importance of nesting substrates. It was carried out in the Araguari river valley in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where a nest site survey was conducted in an area of 100 ha during 11 alternate months from 2006 to 2008, for a total of 1,200 observation hours. Sixty-nine nests were found, belonging to 12 genera and 20 different species. Nests of Melipona rufiventris were by far the most abundant. Stingless bees nested more frequently in hollows of live trees (64%), and 11 different substrates were identified.
