Notes on the systematics of the orchid-bee genus Eulaema (Hymenoptera, Apidae) [PDF]
Notes on the systematics of the orchid-bee genus Eulaema (Hymenoptera, Apidae). The classification of the genus Eulaema is modified in order to make it congruent with recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on molecular data. The speciosa group, containing E. peruviana, E. speciosa and related species, is removed from E.

Isolation and cross-species characterization of polymorphic microsatellites for the orchid bee Eulaema meriana (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) [PDF]
We describe and characterize eight polymorphic microsatellite loci for the orchid bee species Eulaema meriana, an abundant species and important pollinator in wet lowland forests in tropical America. We also tested the cross-species amplification of these microsatellite loci in seven other species of the genus Eulaema. For E. meriana, number of alleles

Reproductive aspects of Meloetyphlus fuscatus a meloid beetle cleptoparasite of the bee Eulaema nigrita (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossini) [PDF]
This study investigated the reproductive biology of the meloid beetle Meloetyphlus fuscatus Waterhouse, a cleptoparasite of Eulaema nigrita nests. New E. nigrita nests had rates of cell parasitism by meloids ranging from 3.7% to 15.8%, while in re-used nests the rate of cell parasitism ranged from 1.4% to 18.7%.

Eulaema bombiformis, E. meriana, and Mullerian Mimicry in Related Species (Hymenoptera: Apidea)
Eulaema bombiformis, E. meriana, and E. seabrai form part of a Miillerian mimetic complex in the Amazon basin, and all three are exceedingly similar in that region. In eastern coastal Brazil all three species are found, but they are not mimetic there, and are easily distinguished. In coastal Venezuela and northern Central America, E.

Eulaema (Eulaema) quadragintanovem sp. n., a species similar to Eulaema (E.) seabrai Moure, 1960 and Eulaema (E.)helvola Moure, 2003, is described from ‘Serra do Baturité’ and ‘Parque Nacional de Ubajara’, state of Ceará, northeasternBrazil. This species seems to be restricted to ‘brejos de altitude’—Atlantic Forest physiognomies at the top of ...

First record of Eulaema helvola Moure (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina) for the State of Minas Gerais: biogeographic and taxonomic implications [PDF]
The occurrence of Eulaema helvola Moure in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, is reported for the first time, extending its known geographic distribution in ca. 600 km eastwards and suggesting that this species may be parapatric or sympatric with E. seabrai Moure. Taxonomic and biogeographic implications of this finding are discussed.

Mountain ecosystems experience abrupt abiotic changes that represent environmental filters for many organisms, shaping their phenotypic expressions. However, little is known about the morphological and symmetric adjustments of native bees along altitudinal gradients. We evaluated the changes on wing morphology, wing size, and vein fluctuating asymmetry
