“…Nonetheless, except for two unpublished studies carried out in the region (BonillaGómez, 1999;Melo, 2005), the orchid-bee fauna of 'Hileia Baiana' remained virtually unknown until now. Recent samplings in this area have shown an astonishingly high richness (Moure, 1996;Neves and Viana, 2003;Nemésio, 2011aNemésio, , b, c, d, e, 2012Nemésio, , 2013) when compared to other areas in the Atlantic Forest (e.g., Rebêlo andGarófalo, 1991, 1997;Bezerra and Martins, 2001;Santos and Sofia, 2002;Milet-Pinheiro and Schlindwein, 2005;Alvarenga et al, 2007;Aguiar andGaglianone, 2008, 2011;Silveira et al, 2011;Mattozo et al, 2011).…”

“…Since orchid bees are forest insects and many of its species are highly dependent on well-preserved forest areas (Roubik and Hanson, 2004), species endemic in this region are more prone to population declines and even to extinction. Considering that new species have been recently described from the area (Moure, 1996;Nemésio, 2011bNemésio, , c, d, 2012, further samplings in the region are still needed to a better knowledge of the actual orchid-bee richness at this part of the Atlantic Forest.…”

The orchid-bee faunas of the 'Parque Nacional do Pau Brasil' (8,500 ha) and 'RPPN Estação Veracel' (6,000 ha), two Atlantic Forest remnants in the southern state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, were surveyed. Seventeen chemical compounds were used as scent baits to attract orchid-bee males. Seven hundred and twelve males belonging to 20 species were actively collected with insect nets during 80 hours in February and April, 2009. Euglossa marianae Nemésio, 2011, the most sensitive orchid-bee species of the Atlantic Forest, was recorded at both preserves, though in low abundance. 'RPPN Estação Veracel' is the smallest forest patch where Euglossa marianae has ever been recorded.Keywords: Atlantic Forest, conservation, Euglossina, euglossine bees, Hexapoda. As faunas de abelhas-das-orquídeas (Hymenoptera: Apidae) de dois remanescentes de Mata Atlântica do sul da Bahia, leste do Brasil ResumoAs faunas de abelhas-das-orquídeas do Parque Nacional do Pau-Brasil (8,500 ha) e da RPPN Estação Veracel (6,000 ha), dois remanescentes de Mata Atlântica no sul da Bahia, Nordeste do Brasil, foram amostradas. Dezessete iscas atrativas a machos de abelhas-das-orquídeas foram utilizadas. Setecentos e doze machos pertencentes a 20 espécies foram coletados com o uso de redes entomológicas durante 80 horas, em fevereiro e abril de 2009. Euglossa marianae Nemésio, 2011, a espécie de abelha euglossina mais dependente de ambientes florestais, foi registrada nas duas áreas, embora pouco abundante. A RPPN Estação Veracel é a menor área onde essa espécie já foi coletada.Palavras-chave: Mata Atlântica, conservação, Euglossina, abelhas euglossinas, Hexapoda.

“…salsai Nemésio, 2011c from Pernambuco is also deposited in the Entomological Collection of the Universidade Federal do Paraná. Given the number of species formerly believed to be endemic in "Hileia Baiana" now found to also occur in the "Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco", it would be no surprise if Eulaema seabrai Moure, 1960 and Euglossa cyanochlora Moure, 1996, two species weakly attracted to synthetic scents (the latter one considered to be endemic in "Hileia Baiana"), were collected in the region in the future.…”

The orchid-bee faunas (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina) of the three largest forest remnants in the "Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco", northeastern Brazil, namely Estação Ecológica de Murici (ESEC Murici), RPPN Frei Caneca, and a forest preserve belonging to Usina Serra Grande, in the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco, were surveyed using seventeen different scents as baits to attract orchid-bee males. Eight sites were established in the three preserves, where samplings were carried out using two protocols: insect netting and bait trapping. We collected 3,479 orchid-bee males belonging to 29 species during 160 hours in early October, 2012. Seven species were collected in the "Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco" for the first time. Richness proved to be one of the highest of the entire Atlantic Forest domain, and diversity in some sites, especially at ESEC Murici, revealed to be one of the highest in the Neotropics. Eulaema felipei Nemésio, 2010, a species previously recorded only at ESEC Murici, was found in no other preserve in the region and its conservation status is discussed.Keywords: Atlantic Forest, Euglossina, euglossine bees, Hexapoda. O Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco é um 'hotspot' de biodiversidade para abelhas-das-orquídeas? ResumoAs faunas de abelhas-das-orquídeas (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina) dos três maiores remanescentes florestais do Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco, nordeste do Brazil, sendo elas a Estação Ecológica de Murici (ESEC Murici), a RPPN Frei Caneca e um remanescente florestal pertencente à Usina Serra Grande, foram amostradas com o uso de dezessete diferentes iscas aromáticas para atrair machos dessas abelhas. Oito sítios amostrais foram selecionados nas três áreas, onde amostragens foram realizadas sob duas metodologias: coleta ativa com rede entomológica e coleta com armadilhas. Foram coletados 3.479 machos de abelhas euglossinas durante 160 horas no início de outubro de 2012. Sete espécies foram registradas no Centro de Endemismo Pernambuco pela primeira vez. A riqueza da região se mostrou uma das mais altas de toda a Mata Atlântica, e a diversidade em alguns locais, especialmente na ESEC Murici, revelou-se uma das mais altas de toda a região Neotropical. Eulaema felipei Nemésio, 2010, uma espécie que só havia sido registrada na ESEC Murici, não foi encontrada em nenhuma outra área e seu estado de conservação é discutido.Palavras-chave: Mata Atlântica, Euglossina, abelhas euglossinas, Hexapoda.

“…In South America, C. aenea ranges from the Guianas to the state of São Paulo, Brazil (Moure 1969). In Brazil, C. aenea has been reported to nest in several habitats in the caatinga (Martins 1994, Aguiar & Gaglianone 2003, cerrado (Silveira & Campos 1995), and restinga (beach areas) (Ramalho & Silva 2002, Viana & Kleinert 2006, Albuquerque et al 2007.…”

Centris aenea Lepeletier is a solitary bee that has raised interest in management to pollinate crops, such as acerola, Malpighia emarginata. This study investigated the level of morphometric variability among populations of C. aenea from Northeastern Brazil. Traditional and geometric morphometric analyses were used. Head length, leg length, wing length, and wing shape were measured in samples (5-10 females) from eight localities. We did not ind statistically signi icant differences among the populations (P > 0.01). The partial wing warps were similar in the populations and indicated that the bees were not morphometrically different. Our results suggest that C. aenea shows low population morphometric variability and highlight the need for further investigations on population variation in this species, preferably including populations sampled at the extremes of their geographic distribution. Signi icant insight into the population variation of C. aenea will probably require the use of molecular markers to allow a comparative approach between morphometric variability and genetic variability.
