As espécies do gênero Eulaema Lepeletier, 1841 (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossinae)

Abstract

Publica-se uma chave para as espécies do gênero Eulaema, que distribui a várias pessoas a partir de setembro de 1969, e que fui corrigindo e modificando até 16.XII.1996. Devia acompanhar um Catálogo feito nesse mesmo período, mas que foi perdido na troca de computador. É apresentada uma cópia desse Catálogo, acrescida de comentários e descrição de espécies novas, inclusive uma que não foi publicada, Eulaema basicincta, e embora conste na check-list, publicada em 1967, e não venha mencionada na de KIMSEY & DRESSLER (1986). Provavelmente perdeu-se o original quando foi para a imprensa. Afim de facilitar estudos futuros para cada espécie é reproduzida a descrição original. Na listagem dos trabalhos que acompanha cada espécie, certamente faltarão algumas referências, contudo as que tive acesso, são arroladas. Para os interessados na Biologia destes e outros Euglossinae há um bom apanhado bibliográfico em DRESSLER (1982). ABSTRACT A key for the species of the genus Eulaema that was distributed to several persons since September of 1969 and that during this period had been modifying and improoving until December of 1996. This key should accompanies the Catalog done in the same period but as the latter was losten in a computer exchange the publication of both was delayed. A copy of that Catalog with new comments and descriptions of new species, besides one, that in spite of being described it was not published, Eulaema basicincta, is cited in the check-list published in 1967, and that was not mentioned in Kimsey & Dressler (1986). The original description possibly was losten in the press. In order to facilitate future studies, the original description for each species is reproduced. In the list of the papers that accompanies each species, certainly will lack some references, however the ones that I had access are listed. For facilitate future studies in the Biology of these and other Euglossinae there are good bibliographical references in Dressler (1982). RÉSUMÉ Une clef pour l'espèces du genre Eulaema qui a été distribué aux plusieurs personnes depuis septembre de 1969 et que pendant cette période avait modifié et improoving jusqu'à décembre de 1996. Cette clef doit accompagne le Catalogue fait dans la même période mais comme le dernier était losten dans un échange de l'ordinateur que la publication de les deux a été différée. Une copie de ce Catalogue avec nouveaux commentaires et descriptions de nouvelle espèce, excepté un, que malgré l'être décrit n'a pas été publié, basicincta Eulaema, est cité dans le chèque-liste publié en 1967, et cela n'a pas été mentionné dans Kimsey & Dressler (1986). La description originale était losten dans la presse peut-être. Pour faciliter des études futures, la description originale pour chaque espèce est reproduite. Dans la liste des papiers qui accompagnent chaque espèce, certainement manquera de quelques références, cependant les ceux que j'avais l'accès est inscrit. Pour facilitez des études futures dans la Biologie de ceux-ci et autre Euglossinae il y a de bonnes références bibliographiques dans DRESSLER (1982).

Occurrence of Eulaema (Apeulaema) pseudocingulata Oliveira (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) in the Platina Basin, Mato Grosso State, Brazil

“…Brazil and Colombia report the highest diversity of orchid bee species in the world, with 117 and 116 species, respectively (Moure 2000, Roubik 2004, Ramírez 2005, Anjos-Silva & Rebêlo 2006, followed by Peru (79), Venezuela (70) and Panama (69) (Ramírez et al 2002, Roubik & Hanson 2004, Rasmussen & Skov 2006, Oliveira 2006a. There are 208 valid species of euglossine bees presently known to man, 96% of which are free-living.…”

“…This genus was initially represented by 15 species (Moure 1950, Dressler 1979, Ospina-Torres 1998 According to existing literature, the E. cingulata occurs from northwest Mexico to Bolivia and southern Brazil, whereas distribution of the E. pseudocingulata Oliveira is restricted to the Amazon Basin, Venezuela and Trinidad & Tobago. Both species belong to the subgenus Apeulaema Moure (Moure 1950(Moure , 2000, however E. pseudocingulata belongs to the polychroma group and E. cingulata to the nigrita group (Oliveira 2006a, b). Although several studies have been made in the Neotropical region, as yet none have documented whether the distributional gap within the polychroma and nigrita groups is a real phenomenon.…”

“…The cleptoparasitic genus Exaerete Hoffmannsegg is represented by seven species, ranging from Mexico to southern Argentina (Anjos-Silva & Rebêlo 2006), and Aglae Lepeletier & Serville is a monotypic genus that was presumed to occur only in the Amazon Basin (Moure 1964(Moure , 1967Michener 2000, Cameron 2004 (Wittmann et al 1988) (Brazil), Missiones (Argentina) and Paraguay to central Mexico (Moure 2000, Michener 2000, Cameron 2004, Oliveira 2006a).

First record of Eulaema helvola Moure (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina) for the State of Minas Gerais: biogeographic and taxonomic implications

“…Eulaema (Eulaema) helvola Moure is one such species. It is only known for eleven specimens from Brazil, all in the Cerrado domain (Brazilian savanna): two from state of Mato Grosso (Oliveira 2000, Moure 2003, seven from state of Goiás (Oliveira 2000) and two from Distrito Federal (Oliveira 2000). An additional specimen is known from Bolivia, presumably from El Beni (Oliveira 2000).…”
