“…Michener (2000Michener ( , 2007 recognised Pterosarus and Heterosarus as subgenera of Protandrena, but they have also been treated as subgenera or synonyms of Pseudopanurgus (Timberlake 1967;Ascher 2004;Ascher and Pickering 2020). Phylogenetic studies seem to suggest that a broadly defined Pseudopanurgus is paraphyletic (Bossert et al 2021;Ramos et al 2022). No Pseudopanurgus sensu stricto occur in Manitoba, but we implicitly use Protandrena as an umbrella genus for all North American Protandrenini.…”

We record 392 species or morphospecies of bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) for Manitoba, Canada, which is 154 more species than reported in 2015 and includes five new generic records since 2015 (Ashmeadiella, Brachymelecta, Eucera, Neolarra, and Triepeolus). Thirteen new records reported here are new for Canada: Calliopsis (Nomadopsis) australior Cockerell, Perdita (Perdita) tridentata Stevens, Brachymelecta interrupta (Cresson), Diadasia (Dasiapis) ochracea (Cockerell), Melissodes bidentis Cockerell, Nomada crawfordi crawfordi Cockerell, Nomada fuscicincta Swenk, Nomada sphaerogaster Cockerell, Nomada xantholepis Cockerell, Triepeolus cf. grindeliae Cockerell, Dianthidium (Dianthidium) parvum (Cresson), Coelioxys (Xerocoelioxys) nodis Baker, and Megachile (Megachiloides) dakotensis Mitchell. We remove the following species from the list of Manitoba bees based on re-examination of voucher material: Andrena (Ptilandrena) geranii Robertson, Andrena (Rhacandrena) robertsonii Dalla Torre, Andrena (Simandrena) nasonii Robertson, Andrena (Trachandrena) ceanothi Viereck, Andrena (Trachandrena) quintilis Robertson, Lasioglossum (Hemihalictus) pectoraloides (Cockerell), Lasioglossum (Lasioglossum) forbesii (Robertson), and Dianthidium (Dianthidium) concinnum (Cresson). We propose that Nomada alpha paralpha Cockerell, 1921 and N. alpha dialpha Cockerell, 1921 are junior synonyms of N. alpha Cockerell, 1905. Nomada arenicola Swenk, 1912 is considered a junior synonym of N. fervida Smith, 1854. Protandrena albertensis (Cockerell) and Neolarra mallochi Michener are recognised as valid species. We provide additional notes on taxonomy, nomenclature, and behaviour for select species in the list.

“…This allowed increased exchange of land organisms between South and Central America (e.g., Matos-Maraví et al 2021). Nevertheless, fossils and phylogenetic relationships of many groups are consistent with over-water dispersal between these continents preceding the final closure of the isthmus (e.g., Cody et al 2010, Bloch et al 2016, Crews & Esposito 2020, Ramos et al 2022). A similar situation is observed regarding faunal exchanges between continental America and the Antilles.…”

“…In the few studies that include invertebrates, they represent only a small fraction of the sampled taxa (e.g., Bacon et al 2015, Cody et al 2010), and these acknowledge that their efforts could be improved by the addition of more invertebrates. This is unfortunate, since invertebrates are the major component of animal diversity (Wheeler 1990) and provide important biogeographical insights at all geographic scales (e.g., Peres et al 2017, Crews & Esposito 2020, Matos-Maraví et al 2021, Beza-Beza et al 2021, Ramos et al 2022). In this context, the need for species-level phylogenies of invertebrates is particularly pressing.…”

Complete phylogeny ofMicrathenaspiders suggests multiple dispersal events among Neotropical rainforests, islands, and landmasses, and indicates Andean orogeny promotes speciation

The Neotropical region is the most diverse on the planet, largely due to its mosaic of tropical rainforests. Multiple tectonic and climatic processes have been hypothesized to play a role in generating this diversity; these include Andean orogeny, closure of the Panama Isthmus, the hypothesized GAARlandia land bridge, and putative historical connections among currently isolated forests.Micrathenaspiny spiders (Araneidae) include ∼120 species distributed mostly in forests from Mexico to Argentina, including the Antilles. Here, we use it as a model to study the biogeographic history of Neotropical rainforests by estimating a complete, dated phylogeny using morphological data for all species and molecular data for a subsample of 79 species. This resulted in a phylogeny that is mostly robust and supports most of the previously recognized species groups, although with uncertainty in the phylogenetic position of some species, especially those lacking sequences. The genus began diversifying about 25 million years ago. We use an event-based approach and biogeographic stochastic mapping to estimate ancestral distributions and the timing and direction of dispersal events, and to identify areas where diversity was generated, while accounting for phylogenetic uncertainty. Andean cloud forests generated the majority of species through in-situ speciation, but the Amazon was the major source of species for adjacent areas through dispersal; on the other extreme, the Dry Diagonal received species from other areas but generated very little diversity. Species exchange between Central and South America was intense, with ∼23 dispersal events beginning at least 20 million years ago, indicating thatMicrathenadispersed between these continents before closure of the Isthmus of Panama. We also inferred ∼4 over-water dispersal events from Central and North America to the Antilles, which happened in the last 20 million years, and thus much after the proposed age of the GAARlandia land bridge. We identified an important species exchange route between the Amazon and the Atlantic forests. Sampling all species of the genus was fundamental to some of the conclusions above, especially in identifying the Andes as the area that generated the majority of species. This study highlights the importance of a solid and complete taxonomic sampling in biogeographic studies.
