Abstract: ABSTRACT. Notes on the sociality and nesting biology of Trypoxylon (Trypoxylon) asuncicola Strand, 1910 (Hymenoptera, Sphecidae). Twenty-two nests of Trypoxylon asuncicola were sampled in Viçosa, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in January 2000 and the occupants' behavior of three nests was registered in 2h of direct observation. 528 brood cells were excavated (24±13.84 SD cells per nest), 129 were reused cells, some of them for seven times (meconium deposit count). The mean number of total cells, mean number o… Show more

“…On the other hand, Brockmann and Grafen (1989) suggest that the guarding behaviour evolved as a strategy to guarantee mating and, secondarily, acquired a defensive function against conspecific competitors and natural enemies. For Peruquetti and Del Lama (2003) the presence of males in active nests of wasps of the subgenus Trypoxylon is not as frequent as in nests of wasps of the subgenus Trypargilum. Nevertheless, this behaviour was recorded for Trypoxylon (Trypoxylon) fabricator Strand, 1910(Richards, 1934Sakagami et al, 1990).…”

“…According to Coville and Coville (1980), with this kind of help from the male, the female can spend more time foraging, accumulating more prey in each cell. In species of Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) females are larger than males and are produced in cells with larger quantities of food (Molumby, 1997;Peruquetti and Del Lama, 2003). Molumby (1997).…”

“…According to Pinto et al (2001), nests constructed by Sceliphron are reoccupied by wasps of the genus Pison. Moreover, Peruquetti & Del Lama (2003) describe the reoccupation of nests of Trypoxylon (Sphecidae), and González et al (2004) point out that wasps of the genus Melittobia are ectoparasites of the larvae of Sceliphron, so that they also take advantage of the nests of Sceliphron.…”

“…Pinto et al, 2001; Peruquetti & Del Lama, 2003;González et al, 2004), this practice has not yet been described for nests which have been partially or completely preserved. The data presented here increase our knowledge of the capacity of certain genera of solitary wasps to use pre-existing nests.…”

“…Male nest-guarding behavior among the sub-genus Trypoxylon has not been reported yet (Bohart & Menke 1976, Coville 1982, Peruquetti & Del Lama 2003a. Nest construction and cell provisioning behaviors among species of the sub-genus Trypoxylon need to be studied.…”
