“…Apiomerus are predators, some species being reported as common predators of bee species, such as stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini) (Silva and Gil-Santana 2004), and Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Apidae, Apini) (Silva and Amaral 1973;Amaral-Filho et al 1994;Marques et al 2003Marques et al , 2006. In this study, we show direct evidence that this hemipteran preys on E. picta.…”

“…Besides bees, there are records of Epicharis as a host for both cleptoparasitic species of Meloidae (Coleoptera) and parasitoid species of Conopidae (Diptera) and Mutillidae (Hymenoptera) (Gaglianone 2005;Rocha-Filho et al 2008;Gaglianone et al 2015). Despite the scarcity of information in the literature, species of Hemiptera, especially those of the genus Apiomerus (Reduviidae), are known to be predators of adult bees (Silva and Amaral 1973;Cane 1986;Amaral-Filho et al 1994;Marques et al 2003Marques et al , 2006Silva and Gil-Santana 2004).…”

This study investigates the nesting habits of Epicharis picta in a nest aggregation located in a fragment of the Atlantic forest in Southeastern Brazil. Ten emergence-traps were set up in this nest aggregation to standardize data collection of phenology, natural enemies, and sex ratio. Epicharis picta nests were in an area of 160 m² with a density of 41 nests/m². Nest and cell architecture are described. Epicharis picta is a protandrous, univoltine species with its emergence in this study occurring between 28 January and 15 April. We provide direct evidence of parasitism on E. picta by Rhathymus friesei, Tetraonyx sexguttata and T. aff. lycoides. The predator Apiomerus lanipes was found to prey Epicharis for the first time. We suggest the use of emergence-traps as tools to support studies of ground-nesting bees. In addition, we compile, update, and discuss data on the nesting biology of all Epicharis subgenera.
