Molecular phylogeny and historical biogeography of the bee genus Colletes Latreille, 1802 (Hymenoptera: Apiformes: Colletidae), based on mitochondrial COI and nuclear 28S sequence data

“…Th e taxa included in this study, locality data, and GenBank accession numbers are listed in Table 1 . Species-level nomenclature is according to the following sources: Moure & Urban ( 2002 ) for South America, Kuhlmann ( 1998Kuhlmann ( , 2007b for sub-Saharan Africa, Kuhlmann ( 2000Kuhlmann ( , 2002aKuhlmann ( , 2002bKuhlmann ( , 2003 for the Palearctic, Cardale ( 1993 ), Eardley ( 1996 ), Michener ( 1966Michener ( , 1986Michener ( , 1989 and Moure et al ( 1999 ) for outgroup species. Generic classifi cation of outgroup taxa follows Michener ( 2007 ), with modifi cations proposed by Packer (2008) and Almeida ( 2008 ).…”

On the identity of <i>Colletes neoqueenensis</i> (Colletidae: Colletinae) from southern South America

“…Colletes neoqueenensis Friese, 1910 (Colletidae: Colletinae) was described from several females collected in the provinces of Neuquén and Mendoza, Argentina, by A. Lendl and P. Jörgensen, respectively (Friese, 1910). Nearly one century later, Moure studied the type series and designated a female from Neuquén as the lectotype (Moure & Urban, 2002). Regrettably, the male of C. neoqueenensis has never been described.…”

The species of Colletinae (Hymenoptera: Colletidae) in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais

“…The classification of Colletidae has changed considerably since the seminal paper by Michener (1944) on the phylogeny and classification of the bees. Here, the subfamily Colletinae is considered in a narrow sense, following authors such as Silveira et al (2002) and Almeida & Danforth (2009), and corresponding to the tribe Colletini in classifications such as those of Michener (1944Michener ( , 1989Michener ( , 2007, Engel (2001), Moure & Urban (2002), Melo & Gonçalves (2005) and Moure et al (2007). As such, Colletinae comprises Colletes Latreille, 1802, a species-rich and worldwide genus, and related South American genera.…”

“…Michener (1944) considered it to comprise only of Colletes, but later, he recognized one additional genus in the group-Mourecotelles Toro & Cabezas, 1978(Michener 1989, 2000, 2007, which was subdivided into three subgenera: Mourecotelles s.str., Hemicotelles (Toro & Cabezas 1977), and Xanthocotelles (Toro & Cabezas 1978). This arrangement, however, has not been unanimously accepted, with Moure & Urban (2002) recognizing six genera in Colletinae, whereas Moure et al (2007) recognized four genera. Here, we follow the generic classification adopted by Moure et al (2007), with two of their genera being included in the scope of this revision: Colletes and Rhynchocolletes Moure, 1943. Colletes is a cosmopolitan taxon, only absent in the Australian region and Antarctica (Michener 2007), and including an estimated 700 species (Kuhlmann et al 2009).…”
