“…Other species of Centris that are closely related to C. hyptidis do not possess this morphological adaptation to Angelonia flowers, despite being visitors to Angelonia as well (Martins et al 2013). The same kind of adaptation was not observed in Caenonomada (Tapinotaspidini), another legitimate visitor of A. cornigera (Aguiar & Melo 2009). Consequently, the evidence of strict adaptation to Angelonia observed by Machado et al (2002) has been challenged by new evidence, and further study is required in order to understand how the co-adaptation between these partners occurred.…”

“…Females use floral oils to line the surface of the nest cell wall and mix it with pollen to feed larvae (Buchmann 1987, Cane et al 1983. The males of Tetrapediini and Tapinotaspidini also collect floral oil for still unknown purposes (Vogel & Machado 1991, Aguiar & Melo 2009, Cappellari et al 2011). …”

“…For the Basistemon species, only the visitors of B. spinosus and B. silvaticus are known and they visit the flowers to collect oil and pollen (Table 1). The only recorded oil-collecting visitor of the Monopera genus is Caenonomada bruneri (Aguiar & Melo 2009 (Simpson et al 1990, Sérsic & Cocucci 1999. Melosperma andicola, which produces only pollen and a small quantity of nectar, has no recorded visitors (Sérsic & Cocucci 1999).…”

-DOS-SANTOS, I. Floral-oil-producing Plantaginaceae species: geographical distribution, pollinator rewards and interactions with oil-collecting bees. Biota Neotrop. 13(4): http://www. biotaneotropica.org.br/v13n4/en/abstract?article+bn01313042013Abstract: Floral oils as reward to pollinators occur in eleven plant families and appeared at least 28 times in the evolutionary history of flowering plants. They are produced in epithelial or tricomatic glands and collected by oil bee visitors. The present paper focuses on floral-oil-producing species of Plantaginaceae, a Neotropical group namely Angelonia clade. This group comprises around 40 described species in the genera Angelonia, Basistemon , Monttea , Monopera and the oil-less Melosperma . We present a revision of all species of the Angelonia clade, their geographical distribution, resources offered to pollinators and records of flower visitors, especially oil-collecting bees. These plants rely only on oil-collecting species in the tribe Centridini and Tapinotaspidini for a successful pollination, being the interaction between both partners an especial case of bee/flower adaptation in Neotropical region. Some bee species depend only on the oil of Plantaginaceae flowers to survive, while others can collect on several floral oil sources. The pollinating bees explore the oil glands located in sacs using specialized hairs in the forelegs. With this study, we hope to inspire further research relating to this fascinating group of plants, in which most species are rare and occur in highly endangered habitats in South American open vegetation biomes. keywords: plant-insect interactions, oil-collecting bees, oil-flowers, Plantaginaceae, Apidae.

International audienceSeveral groups of solitary bees, known as oil-collecting bees, gather lipids from flowers that offer them as their main reward to pollinators. In the Neotropical region, oil-collecting bees belong to the tribes Centridini, Tapinotaspidini, and Tetrapediini (Apidae: Apinae). The floral oils collected by females of these groups are used as larval food or in nest construction. The interaction of these bees with oil flowers is characterized by the presence of specialized structures for oil collection on the legs that morphologically match the location and type of the oil-producing glands on flowers they visit. In addition, these bees have specialized arrays of setae (including the scopae) for oil transport. In a few genera, both sexes display such specialized structures, although floral oil collection has hitherto been regarded as an exclusively female task. Here, we report floral oil collection by males of Tetrapedia, a Neotropical genus of oil-collecting bees. We describe behavioral aspects of oil foraging by males, present data on morphological structures associated with the collection of this resource, and discuss potential hypotheses to explain the significance of floral oils in the mating system of Tetrapedia
