MaleEulaema cingulata (Fabricius) (Apidae: Euglossini) possess large cephalic labial glands that secrete a mixture of lipids. In the process of fragrance collection, males secrete the labial gland lipids onto the substrate. The mixture of lipids and fragrances is then taken up by the front tarsal brushes and transferred to the hind tibial organs.

Long-term ecology of euglossine orchid-bees (Apidae: Euglossini) in Panama
Oecologia, 1987Abundance patterns during 6-7 years and orchid visitation were determined for 51 species of the 57 local euglossine bees. Male bees were counted at 3 chemical attractants presented in the same manner each month. Sites were separated by 75 km but included wet Atlantic forest at 500 m elevation, moist forest at 180 m near Barro Colorado Island, and cloud

The male gonostylus of the orchid bee genus Euglossa (Apidae: Euglossini)
Zootaxa, 2006Genital characters remain unexplored in Euglossa and they could be of great value in recognizing species and understanding the phylogeny of the group as in other bee genera. We examined the external morphology of the male gonostylus in 49 species of Euglossa belonging to five subgenera and eight species groups.

Euglossini (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
2013Prachtbienen (Euglossini, Apidae) sind jene Bienen mit den längsten Saugrüsseln, die eine Länge bis zu doppelter Körperlänge erreichen können. Mit diesen langen Mundwerkzeugen können sie ein sehr breites Pflanzenspektrum für die Nektaraufnahme nutzen, das für kurzrüsselige Insekten unerschlossen bleibt.

Function of Fragrances Collected by Euglossini Males (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Entomologia Generalis, 2000A possible answer is offered, on the basis of one occasional observation, to the puzzle of why males [MM] of Euglossini bees collect fragrances. The suggested answer is: to attract initially MM and later females [FF]. Such behavior is as follows: the fragrance collected by Euglossini MM is stored in their hind tibiae, where it may be altered and/or ...

Priority areas for conservation of orchid bees (Apidae, Euglossini) in the Atlantic Forest
Journal of Insect Conservation, 2019Given the decline of pollinators around the world, preserving these animals has become a priority. This is especially urgent in threatened areas that concentrate high biodiversity such as the Atlantic forest (AF) in South America. Orchid bees are among the most important pollinators in the AF and are considered as good biological indicators of ...

Sex Ratio and Nest Observations of Euglossa hyacinthina (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini)
Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society, 2007Euglossa is the largest genus of orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini), with 103 described species from northern Mexico to Paraguay and northern Argentina (Michener 2000; Roubik and Hanson 2004). For many species of these colorful, large-bodied insects females have not been identified.

New insight into the phylogeny of the orchid bees (Apidae: Euglossini)
2018Orchid bees occur across the American continent, from the southern United States to Paraguay and northern Argentina. There are 240 described species of orchid bees. The phylogeny of these bees has been studied by several researchers. In most cases, phylogenetic trees with different topologies have been introduced, because the tree topology of the ...

A new species of Exaerete Hoffmannsegg (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) from Brazil
Zootaxa, 2006This paper describes males of a new species of the cleptoparasitic euglossine genus Exaerete Hoffmannsegg. Exaerete guaykuru Anjos-Silva and Rebêlo new species, was found in the moist forest of Planalto dos Guimarães, located in the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park in southern Mato Grosso, Brazil.
