“…Meriana corresponds with all reports of orchid-bee gynanders, where male and female structures were distributed in patches throughout the body. However, the distribution of characters was irregular among body sections in prior cases (Giangarelli & Sofia, 2011;Hinojosa-Díaz et al, 2012;Silveira et al, 2012;Camargo & Gonçalves, 2013;González, 2014;Suzuki et al, 2015) (see Table 1), establishing a pattern of phenotypic intersexual anomalies in Euglossini. This aligns with the trend of most known cases of gynandromorph bees worldwide that present this gynandromorph type (Wcislo et al, 2004;Michez et al, 2009;Hinojosa-Díaz et al, 2012).…”
