“…The number of species in each clade considered for the analyses (i.e., the 59 genera or groups of species assumed to be monophyletic or least inclusive suprageneric groups about which monophyly could be assumed shown in Supporting information Figure ) was based on the respective number of described species, as indicated in the available catalogues for the neotropical and Australasian bee faunas (Almeida, ; Moure, Graf, & Urban, ) complemented by more recent publications (Batley & Houston, ; Gonzalez & Florez, ; Maynard, ; Almeida & Gibran, ; Packer & Ruz, ). The shape of the LTT plot is affected by the level of taxon sampling in relation to all extant lineages of the investigated clade.…”

The diversification of neopasiphaeine bees during the Cenozoic (Hymenoptera: Colletidae)

et al. 2018

The biogeography of colletid bees as a whole can be explained by several South American-Australian trans-Antarctic interchanges. Within Colletidae, neopasiphaeine bees form a large group that has not been adequately studied, even though they are interesting both from the biogeographical viewpoint for fitting well the austral Gondwanan track and for their associations to host plants. The present paper integrates phylogenetic, biogeographic and paleontological data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Neopasiphaeinae, with special emphasis on the New World taxa, relating the evolution of these bees to changes, such as the Andes uplift and expansion of open vegetation biomes. First, we propose a phylogenetic hypothesis for the Neopasiphaeinae using one mitochondrial and five nuclear loci. Phylogenetic relationships and divergence time estimation were simultaneously inferred in a Bayesian framework, and the tempo of neopasiphaeine diversification was investigated using lineage-through-time plots. The historical biogeography of neopasiphaeine bees was investigated in a likelihood framework. The clade represented by Neopasiphaeinae is strongly supported within Colletidae, and the bulk of their genera can be divided into two major sister-clades that diverged during the Eocene: one endemic to the Australian region and the other to the Neotropical region. Divergence times among most neotropical genera of Neopasiphaeinae indicate that they differentiated and started their diversification during the Miocene. Our results depict a complex process of geographic evolution in the Neotropical clade, which probably relates to important changes in the neotropical climates and biota beginning at the Oligocene and became more marked in the Miocene. We present a scenario of the neotropical Neopasiphaeinae initially associated with areas of open vegetation in subtropical and temperate portions of South America, followed by multiple separations of lineages east and west of the Andes, and more recent occupations of habitats in tropical portions of the continent.

The purpose of this paper is to document the males of Leioproctus rosellae Gonzalez in Gonzalez & Florez, 2011 (Colletidae, Paracolletini) and Heriades tayrona Gonzalez & Griswold, 2011 (Megachilidae, Osmiini), two solitary bee species recently described based on females from the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Leioproctus rosellae is currently known only from the holotype, while H. tayrona is known from a few specimens from the type locality. The discovery of these species in northern Colombia considerably extended the distribution of Leioproctus Smith (sensu Michener, 2007) and Heriades Spinola in the Western Hemisphere. In the Americas, Leioproctus was known from Chile and Argentina to central Peru and northeastern Brazil, while Heriades was known from southern Canada to Panama and the Greater Antilles (Michener 2007). The discovery of H. tayrona also represented the first record of the tribe Osmiini for South America.
