“…Platymiscium was the second most frequent pollen type, but, although it has poricidal anthers, in most of the studies on melittophilus plants, bees are seldom collected on the flowers of these plants, and those of the family Asteraceae are one of the most visited [30,31,34,[55][56][57][58].…”

Brazil's Atlantic Forest biome is currently undergoing forest loss due to repeated episodes of devastation. In this biome, bees perform the most frequent pollination system. Over the last decade, network analysis has been extensively applied to the study of plant-pollinator interactions, as it provides a consistent view of the structure of plant-pollinator interactions. The aim of this study was to use palynological studies to obtain an understanding of the relationship between floral visitor bees and the pioneer plant S. didymum in a fragment of the Atlantic Forest, and also learn about the other plants that interact to form this network. Five hundred bees were collected from 32 species distributed into five families: Andrenidae, Apidae, Colletidae, Megachilidae, and Halictidae. The interaction network consisted of 21 bee species and 35 pollen types. The Solanum-type bee species with the highest number of interactions were Anthrenoides sp. 1, Augochlora sp. 2, and Augochloropsis notophos, representing 71.78% of their interactions. Augochloropsis notophos and Augochlora sp. 2 were the only common species in the flowers of S. didymum. Given the results of our study, we conclude that Solanum is an important source of pollen grains for several native bee species, mainly for the solitary species that are more diverse in the south of Brazil. Moreover, our results indicate that bees from the families Halictidae (A. notophos, Augochlora) and Andrenidae (Anthrenoides) are the pollinators of S. didymum.

“…The records from João Pessoa and vicinity by Cruz (2013) in peri-urban and rural areas and in Mamanguape, all in Paraíba, indicate that the species is not restricted to the semiarid region, and occurs in other areas of open vegetation, at least near the limit of the Caatinga (open dry diagonal, or South American diagonal of open formations -Vanzolini 1974). The record from São Paulo state (Salesópolis, Boracéia Biological Station -Wilms 1995), secondarily cited by Pedro and Camargo (2000), Imperatriz-Fonseca et al (2011) and in the Discover Life website (2020 -Table 2) must be checked (see remarks below).

“…These specimens would have been deposited in the Zoological Museum of São Paulo University (MZSP) and examined by Pedro and Camargo (2000). Unfortunately, the material collected by Wilms (1995) and cited by Pedro and Camargo (2000), Silveira et al (2002), Imperatriz-Fonseca et al (2011, and in the Discover Life website (2020 -Table 2) could not be located, so this record must be verified. Additionally, this record from Boraceia is from the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil, far from the Caatinga, at an altitude of approximately 800 m a.s.l.…”

A new species of Ceratina (Ceratinula) Moure, 1941, with notes on the taxonomy and distribution of Ceratina (Ceratinula) manni Cockerell, 1912, and an identification key for species of this subgenus known from Brazil (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Ceratinini)

A new species of the small carpenter bee, genus Ceratina (Ceratinula) Moure, from the Cerrado Biome in midwestern Brazil is described and illustrated. Ceratina (Ceratinula) fioreseana Oliveira, sp. nov. is easily distinguished from its congeners by the size of the facial maculations and the honey-yellow color of the legs and antennal scape, which distinguish it especially from Ceratina (Ceratinula) manni Cockerell, 1912, the most similar species in terms of facial maculation patterns. The geographic records of C. manni, here interpreted as endemic to the semiarid Caatinga region in northeastern Brazil, are presented, with new records for the Brazilian states of Piauí, Ceará and Bahia. A morphological description of both species is provided, including a comparison with the type specimen of C. manni from the state of Paraíba (Guarabira, formerly named Independencia). An identification key is provided for the described species of Ceratina (Ceratinula) recorded for Brazil according to Moure’s Catalogue of Neotropical Bees.

“…There are records of females foraging on flowers of Araliaceae, Asteraceae, Bignoniaceae, Bixaceae, Fabaceae, Malpighiaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Sapindaceae, Solanaceae and Sterculiaceae (Gottsberger and Silberbauer-Gottsberger 1988;Guimarães et al 2008;Imperatriz-Fonseca et al 2011). Despite these records, most studies do not provide information about the period of activity and floral resources foraged by E. fulvofasciata, especially its pollen sources.…”

Exomalopsis are ground-nesting species, and their food-niche breadth is little known due the difficulty in locating the nests and finding efficient bait plants to attract these bees. Some species of Exomalopsis were recorded as tomato, hot pepper and eggplant pollinators. Information about the food niche could be useful to increase Exomalopsis populations, providing consistent and comparable data for the enrichment of natural and crop areas with adequate plant sources. This study aimed to determine the food niche and the role of pollen size in the diet of E. fulvofasciata. We analysed pollen loads of 28 individuals of E. fulvofasciata collected from bait plants, in two natural areas of the Brazilian savannah. Only five pollen types belonging to the families Malpighiaceae, Solanaceae, Leguminosae, Myrtaceae and Lythraceae were important for this species. This result indicates that E. fulvofasciata is probably a polylectic species. However, we noticed that the Byrsonima used as bait plants contribute significantly for its larval provision, indicating that small pollen grains were more frequently collected.
