“…The presence of S. asiaticum nest near manmade structures has been reported previously for other Sceliphron species, such as S. assimile (Dahlbom, 1843), S. caementarium, S. fistularium (Dahlbom, 1843) and S. laetum (F. Smith, 1856) worldwide (Freeman and Parnell, 1973;Early and Townsend, 1992;Harris, 1992;Hunt, 1993;Buys, 2009). The nest studied here was constructed mainly of sand soil (mud) and had 12 chambers, each with a single pupa of Sceliphron asiaticum (Fig.…”

“…All individuals are cursorial spiders (Dias et al, 2010) and no orb-web spiders were found. Sceliphron prey on a variety of spider taxa, including only orb-weavers by S. laetum, S. fistularium (Harris, 1992;Elgar and Jebb, 1999;Camillo, 2002;Buys, 2009), and S. caementarium (Eberhard, 1970;Blackledge and Pickett, 2000). Thus, the finding of only cursorial spiders in the nest of S. asiaticum is an unexpected result.…”

“…Overall, few studies were carried out in the State: Moure (1943Moure ( , 1944Moure ( , 1958 provided records of some bee species from the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, most of them Halictid bee species; and some inventories were performed focusing on the Euglossini fauna (Apidae) (Tonhasca-Jr. et al, 2002;Aguiar & Gaglianone, 2012). Concerning wasps, only the Sphecidae family has records (Buys, 2009), but the other families registered in this inventory have no data in the literature for the State of Rio de Janeiro.…”

“…Concerning the wasps species collected, only underground-nesting Penepodium species was previously recorded in the Rio de Janeiro State (Buys, 2009), and as long as some accept trap-nests (Garcia & Adis, 1993), probably it is a new record of species for the State. Pachodynerus nasidens is a vespid with a large distribution in Brazil and some records are made in the Atlantic Forest (Nascimento & Garófalo, 2014;Rocha-Filho et al, 2017).…”

Urban areas, as cities, are frequently overlooked as refuges for the native fauna. However, these places may support several species and house relevant biodiversity contributing to important ecosystemic functions. Wasps and bees (Hymenoptera: Apocrita) are important faunistic elements acting as predators/parasitoids and pollinators, respectively. Therefore, they must be surveyed and inventoried for conservation purposes, especially in cities located in the Atlantic Forest domain, a ravaged Brazilian biome. Accordingly, this study presents a species list of trap-nesting bees and wasps that occurs at the Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro. The survey was conducted using the trap-nest method. Three types of trap-nests were offered totalizing 1,038 traps: rubber hose, bamboo cane and plastic straw. The plastic straw traps were the most effective followed by the bamboo cane ones at attracting nesting wasps and bees. Between April/2017 and February/2019, 12 foundress species built nests: Tetrapedia curvitarsis (Apidae) (33 nests), Hylaeus sp. (Colletidae) (6), Auplopus cf. rufipes (Pompilidae) (5), Trypoxylon sp. (Crabronidae) (4), Pachodynerus nasidens (Vespidae) (3), Auplopus cf. brasiliensis (Pompilidae), Megachile benigna and Megachile sp. (Megachilidae), Euglossa pleosticta, Euglossa sp., and Eufriesea sp. (Apidae) and Penepodium sp. (Sphecidae) all with one nest. Also, four natural enemies were recorded: Chaenotetrastichus neotropicalis (Eulophidae), Gasteruption brachychaetum (Gasterupteiidae), Caenochrysis crotonis (Chrysididae) and Amobia sp. (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). Most bee nests were restrained to the matrix forest and nearby areas, whereas wasps built their nests predominantly in open areas. Regarding seasonality, bees tended to nest in the summer and early autumn influenced by mean temperature, in contrast of wasps that nested in late autumn, winter and spring, influenced by pluviosity. Besides many rare species, which suggests environmental disturbance, the Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro showed a fairly diverse fauna and shows how forest fragment in cities may harbour important representatives of the native fauna.

ABSTRACT. Spheciformes Wasps (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Here we present a species list of spheciformes wasps of the families Ampulicidae, Sphecidae and Crabronidae, registered in west and southwest of the Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. The surveys were conducted in 22 sampling points, with emphasis on Serra da Bodoquena region, covering the biomes: Cerrado, Atlantic Forest and Chaco. We recorded 506 individuals distributed in 47 genera and 109 species. Trypoxylon Latreille was the most diverse genus with 155 individuals collected and 12 morphospecies, being the only genus sampled in all methodologies. Eremnophila binodis (Fabricius, 1798) was the most abundant species recorded from these wasps with 35 individuals collected. This list adds 83 new records to this wasp's distribution in the state, expanding to 139 species of wasps spheciformes known to the state.KEYWORDS. Crabronidae, Neotropical Region, solitary wasps, Sphecidae, Biota-MS Program.RESUMO. Apresentamos aqui uma lista de espécies de vespas esfeciformes das famílias Ampulicidae, Sphecidae e Crabronidae registradas para o oeste e sudoeste do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul em inventários recentes realizados em 22 pontos amostrais, com principal ênfase na Serra da Bodoquena, contemplando os principais biomas do estado como o Cerrado, a Mata Atlântica e o Chaco Brasileiro. Foram registrados 506 indivíduos distribuídos em 109 espécies e 47 gêneros. Trypoxylon Latreille foi o gênero mais diverso com 155 indivíduos coletados e 12 espécies, sendo o único gênero amostrado em todas as metodologias. Eremnophila binodis (Fabricius, 1798) foi a espécie mais abundante registrada dentre os esfeciformes, com 35 indivíduos coletados. Esta lista acrescenta 83 novos registros de distribuição de espécies dessas vespas no estado, ampliando para 139 espécies de vespas esfeciformes conhecidas para o estado.
