“…The few genera with systematic treatment including phylogeny have biogeographical patterns that are not congruent with those in the literature and common to other bees (Coelho, ; Gonçalves & Melo, , ; Gonçalves, , ). Augochlora , Megalopta and Rhinocorynura groups are found in southeastern and central Brazil, with some species also being found in forests of the western and northern tributaries of the Amazon River.…”

“…Molecular data were not available for Paracorynurella, but morphological data can be considered to be in strong support of the placement of this genus within the group. This is the most-studied clade in the Augochlorini, with published phylogenetic hypotheses for all species (Gonçalves, 2010;Gonçalves & Melo, 2012).…”

The Augochlorini Beebe is a New World tribe of bees comprising 663 described species. Relationships among the genera of this monophyletic tribe remain uncertain. Here I provide a comprehensive phylogeny using morphological and molecular information. In all, 54 Augochlorini species plus 16 outgroups and 3017 molecular and 105 morphological characters were analysed. Sequences for four genes were analysed using Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood and parsimony. Morphological characters were taken from a literature review and analysed alone and in combination with molecular data using parsimony. The monophyly of Augochlorini and most genera is confirmed, with divergence of the main lineages of the tribe around 55-20 Ma.

ABSTRACT. Checklist of bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae sensu lato) from Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. In this paper a current list of the bee species from Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil is presented and available in the online database of collections and reported in the literature, besides own collections held in diff erent localities in the state, encompassing diff erent vegetation types. The total number of bee species recorded for Mato Grosso do Sul, including morphospecies, is 386 species, distributed in 107 genera and fi ve subfamilies. The most diverse subfamily is Apinae, followed by Megachilinae, Halictinae, Colletinae and Andreninae. We added new distribution records of 97 species of bees to Mato Grosso do Sul.

“…amphitrite exhibits a remarkable variation in body size and head shape (Fig 3). The variation is continuous and does not correspond to true dimorphism among females, with a distinct macrocephalic morph as found in other groups such as Rhinocorynura (Gonçalves & Melo, 2012). Nevertheless, we use herein the term macrocephalic for the large females with enlarged gena and developed distal part of the mandibular adductor ridge.…”

Augochlorine bees exhibit a large array of foraging and social behaviors, nest substrates and architecture. The huge diversity of behaviors is frequently linked with morphological traits. All levels of variation should be analyzed in order to provide a broader view of evoluton. Augochlora (Augochlora) amphitrite Schrottky occurs from northern of Argentina to southeastern of Brazil. The species nests in decaying wood and is facultatively eusocial. Color variation and head polymorphism were already mentioned in the literature and the main goal of the present paper is to evaluate the morphological variation of the species. For this purpose, we examined 720 specimens and carried out qualitative and quantitative analyses with traditional morphometrics. Other 25 Augochlora species were studied and we propose a revised diagnosis for A. amphitrite. A remarkable color variation is described, there are three morphs: green, dark blue, and black. There are no geographical patterns linked with the color variation. We propose that Odontochlora lethe Schrottky and Odontochlora styx Schrottky are junior synonyms of Odontochlora amphitrite Schrottky. Those names refer to black male and female occurring within A. amphitrite distribution. There is a continuous variation on size and shape of head. Again, we do not fi nd any relation of morphology with distribution. Besides gena swelling, the adductor ridge of mandible is strongly developed on macrocephalic females. Due variations showed, A. amphitrite is a bee candidate to be a model for studies to link morphology, function and behavior.
