Two new species of Andinopanurgus Gonzalez & Engel are described: Andinopanur- gus chirosimpson Packer, new species, from northwest Argentina extends the range of the genus south by more than 2000 km and A. lynnae Packer, new species, from Peru. The new species seem to belong to Gonzalez & Engel’s “guarnensis species group” but difer from it in the highly modifed setae on S4, which are divided into two to four branches (in A. chirosimpson, the four- branched ones of which look like a thumbless hand and are the source of the specifc epithet) to two to fve branches (in A. lynnae). The female of A. amyae (Gonzalez & Engel) is described for the frst time. INTRODUCTION Andinopanurgus was described by Gonzalez & Engel (2011) as a subgenus of Pro- tandrena Cockerell, based upon fve previously described species (all by Gonzalez & Ruz, 2007) and two that they described as new. It was subsequently raised to generic rank with an eighth species being described (Gonzalez et al., 2019). These authors also summarized the limited natural history information available for the group. An- dinopanurgus ranges from Venezuela to Peru, occurring at moderate to high altitudes, from 1100 m to over 4000 m (Gonzalez & Engel, 2011; Gonzalez et al., 2019). In this paper I describe the ninth and tenth species of Andinopanurgus, one of which extends the range of the genus substantially further south to Tucumán Province in Argentina.

Gonzalez1, C. Rasmussen2, & Michael S. Engel3 Abstract. The protandrenine bee genus Liphanthus Reed (Panurginae: Protandrenini) is cur- rently known from Chile and Argentina. Liphanthus (Melaliphanthus) cuscoensis Gonzalez, Rasmussen, & Engel, new species, is described and figured from a male collected in Cusco, Peru, at 4167 meters of elevation. This finding represents the northernmost record for the genus and the fourth protandrenine species described from Peru. An updated key to the species of the subgenus Melaliphanthus Ruz & Toro is provided. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to describe a new species of the protandrenine bee ge- nus Liphanthus Reed from Peru. The genus Liphanthus is currently known from Chile and Argentina, and consists of 33 species grouped in seven subgenera, except for five species whose subgeneric placement remains uncertain (Ruz & Toro, 1983; Tapia & Ruz, 2003; Michener, 2007; Moure et al., 2007; Vivallo, 2008; Gonzalez et al., 2013). The new species described herein belongs to the subgenus Melaliphanthus Ruz & Toro, a group consisting of only three species currently known from the Chilean provinces of Malleco and Arauco (Liphanthus atratus Ruz & Toro and L. penai Ruz & Toro) and the Argentinean province of Mendoza (L. inornatus Vivallo). The Peruvian species was collected in the Altiplano region at 4167 m elevation between Cusco, Puno, and Arequipa, thus representing the northernmost record for the genus; the province of 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, 100 Campus Drive, Weatherford, Oklahoma 73096, USA ([email protected]).

To get the initial idea to the stage of a final product seen by movie goers or television viewers takes thousands of hours of work, thought, trials, errors and fresh starts. This requires the contributions of an ever-growing Ian Greenberg number of people. This is when financing comes into play.

The Fund / Le Fonds supports them through every step, from the genesis of an idea to the completed work: story optioning, script development and production. These programs provide funding to a wide range of film and television projects, including feature films, youth programming, music programs, videos and special events. More than ever, these programs play a determinant role in the diffusion and promotion of our culture. In recent months, we have seen the release of a number of productions that The Fund / Le Fonds began supporting at the embryonic idea stage.

  • Journal of Melittology Bee Biology, Ecology, Evolution, & Systematics the Latest Buzz in Bee Biology No
    Journal of Melittology Bee Biology, Ecology, Evolution, & Systematics The latest buzz in bee biology No. 12, pp. 1–6 11 June 2013 BRIEF COMMUNICATION The large carpenter bee Xylocopa augusti (Hymenoptera: Apidae): New record for Chile José Montalva1, Juan L. Allendes2, & Mariano Lucia3 Abstract. The large carpenter bee Xylocopa (Neoxylocopa) augusti Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1841, is here recorded for the first time in Chile. This new record increases to four the number of carpenter bees known for the country. Host plant associations for X. augusti in Chile are pro- vided. A key to the species of Xylocopa Latreille in Chile as well as comments on the presence of X. (N.) bruesi Cockerell in the country are also presented. INTRODUCTION The genus Xylocopa Latreille (Xylocopinae: Xylocopini) comprises approximately 470 described species worldwide (Michener, 2007). These bees are commonly known as carpenter bees owing to their behavior of building nests in dead wood, hollow stems, and structural timbers of human constructions (Hurd & Moure, 1963; Gerling et al., 1989). About 110 species in 12 subgenera are known in the Neotropical region (Ospina, 2000; Michener, 2007). The diversity of this group in Chile is relatively low when compared to neighboring countries, with only three species recorded to date: Xylocopa (Neoxylocopa) bruesi Cockerell, 1914; X. (Schonnherria) splendidula Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1841; and X. (S.) viridigastra Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1841 (Montalva et al., 2008; Montalva & Ruz, 2010). The record of X. bruesi in Chile requires confirmation. This species was first list- ed by Ruiz (1940) as X. brasilianorum bruesi and subsequently cited by other authors (Ospina, 2000; Moure, 2007; Montalva et al., 2008; Montalva & Ruz, 2010).
