چکیده
A new Strepsiptera genus from South America is described, Rozenia gen. n., with three new species: Rozeniacalliopsidis sp. n. (type species), Rozeniaperuana sp. n. and Rozeniaplaticephala sp. n. These three new species are parasites of bees belonging to the tribe Calliopsini (Andrenidae, Panurginae). Rozeniacalliopsidis sp. n. is a parasite of the bee genus Calliopsis Smith, 1853 and Rozeniaperuana sp. n. and Rozeniaplaticephala sp. n. are parasites of the bee genus Acamptopoeum Cockerell, 1905. Diagnoses and descriptions of female puparia are presented for all three species. Diagnoses and descriptions of first instars (triungulinids) are presented for Rozeniacalliopsidis sp. n. and Rozeniaplaticephala sp. n. The first case of increased number of setae on the body of the first instars and augmentation of chaetotaxy of Strepsiptera are discussed.

Holcopasites ruthae Cooper is a cleptoparasite of Calliopsis pugionis Cockerell. At five sites, parasitism rate of host cells varied from 0 to over 30%, with an overall parasitism rate of 6.6% when data from all sites were combined. Significant influences on parasitism rate included site, nest density, and date of excavation, and density had a significant interaction with date. Together these f...

In addition to the distribution, the subgenus is easily distinguished from other subgenera by a unique combinatio...
متن کاملA new interpretation of the bee fossil Melitta willardi Cockerell (Hymenoptera, Melittidae) based on geometric morphometrics of the wing
Although bees are one of the major lineages of pollinators and are today quite diverse, few well-preserved fossils are available from which to establish the tempo of their diversification/extinction since the Early Cretaceous. Here we present a reassessment of the taxonomic affinities of Melitta willardiCockerell 1909, preserved as a compression fossil from the Florissant shales of Colorado, US...

Description of a new species of the genus Stylops from Dominican amber expands the number of families of this order represented by fossils of the mid-Eocene in the Neotropical region. The specimen described herein is reasonably well preserved, except for the tip of the abdomen that hampered observation of the aedeagus. The specimen fits definition of the comtemporary genus Stylops and differs f...
