New enigmatic Andean bee species of Protandrena (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae, Panurginae)

A new species of <i>Liphanthus</i> from Peru (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)

“…This is also the fourth protandrenine species described from Peru (Gonzalez & Engel, 2004, 2011Gonzalez & Ruz, 2007;Moure et al, 2007;.…”

Phylogenetic Relationships of a New Genus of Calliopsine Bees from Peru, with a Review ofSpinoliellaAshmead (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)

“…The format for the descriptions generally follows that used by Gonzalez and Ruz (2007), Gonzalez and Engel (2011), and Gonzalez et al (2013b), while morphological terminology follows that of Engel (2001Engel ( , 2009 Michener (2007), with modifications from Moure and DalMolin (2007), Gonzalez and Engel (2016), and taxa and synonyms established herein. (2007), except herein we use "torulus" instead of "antennal alveolus" as the former is in broader application across Hymenoptera.…”

<i>Incasarus garciai</i>, a new genus and species of panurgine bees from the Peruvian Andes (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)

“…Several morphologically distinctive bee species have been discovered in the past decades from the Andean region of northern South America, from Venezuela to Peru (e.g., Engel, 1997Engel, , 2007Engel, , 2009aEngel, , 2010Engel et al, 1997Engel et al, , 2006Gonzalez, 2004Gonzalez, , 2006Gonzalez & Engel 2004Ascher et al, 2006;Engel & Gonzalez, 2009;Gonzalez & Ruz 2007;Smith-Pardo & Gonzalez, 2009). The bee fauna from this part of the Andes remains largely unexplored and underrepresented in collections.…”

“…Herein we propose a new generic name, Incasarus Gonzalez, Rasmussen, & Engel, and describe the species, which represents the third protandrenine taxon known from (Gonzalez & Engel, 2004Gonzalez & Ruz 2007;Moure et al, 2007). It is beyond the scope of the present work to explore the phylogenetic relationships for this newly proposed genus within the exclusively New World Protandrenini.…”
