“…Before the present study, the presence of E. cognata had not been reported in the Platina Basin, where this species occurs in sympatry with other species of the analis group, such as E. analis, E. bidentata Dressler, 1982a (Moure 1967a, b, Michener 2000, Cameron 2004, in the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, increasing its known geographical distribution by approximately 2,400 kilometers southward in South America. Furthermore, the hypothesis is also reinforced by the recent results obtained by Anjos-Silva (2007), who collected Eulaema pseudocingulata Oliveira, 2006, another species previously also indicated as endemic to the Amazon Basin (Oliveira 2006), in the Platina Basin, where this species occurs in sympatry with E. cingulata (Fabricius 1804), a sibling species of similar morphology and color pattern but with a broader geographic distribution. These results amplified …”

However, with the addition of the new record for Bolivia (Abrahamczyk et al 2012) and new and old records presented here, it is possible that the species uses gallery forests from the Amazon to the Cerrado to reach the Atlantic forest domains (see Ab'Sáber 1971), as previously document for Eulaema cingulata (Fabricius, 1804) (Anjos- Silva 2006aSilva , 2006bSilva , 2007 and Euglossa cognata Moure, 1970(Anjos-Silva 2008. In this scenario, the male populations of E. imperialis possibly use the Pantanal wetland and the gallery forest as ecological corridors from the central Bolivian Amazon domain to reach the southeast and the Atlantic forest in Brazil (Rebêlo andGarófalo 1991, 1997;Rebêlo 2001;Ramirez et al 2010;Mateus et al 2015).…”

Euglossa imperialis Cockerell, 1922 has recently been catalogued in the Cerrado of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and here we add both new and old data obtained from expeditions conducted in 10 municipalities of Mato Grosso since 2002. In this study we record this species for the first time in the wetlands of Cáceres and Barão de Melgaço, as well as on the northern Pantanal. Further studies are required to examine the variation in the coloration and other characteristics in E. imperialis populations from the northern and southern floodplains..

“…In this vast tropical savanna biome, even with the continuous deforestation process, few works have been made on the euglossine bee fauna (Rebêlo & Cabral 1997, Nemésio & Faria 2004, Carvalho et al 2006, Alvarenga et al 2007, Anjos-Silva 2007, 2010. So, the objectives of this work, was to study the species composition, abundance and the seasonal and hourly distribution of euglossine bees in a Gallery Forest in the Brazilian Cerrado.…”

The orchid bees are a very important group of pollinators distributed in the Neotropics. Although a lot of studies concerning male euglossine bees have been done in this region, few works have so far been carried out in the Cerrado biome. This manuscript has the main objective to present the orchid bee community from a Gallery Forest in the Northeastern Brazilian Cerrado landscape, taking account the species composition, abundance, seasonality and hourly distribution. Male euglossine bees were collected monthly from October 2007 to May 2009, in the Reserva Florestal da Itamacaoca belonging to the Companhia de Água e Esgoto do Maranhão, in Chapadinha municipality, Maranhão State. The scents eucalyptol, eugenol and vanillin were utilized, between 07:00 and 17:00hr, to attract the euglossine males. Cotton balls were dampened with the scents and suspended by a string on tree branches 1.5m above soil level, set 8m from one another. The specimens were captured with entomological nets, killed with ethyl acetate and transported to the laboratory to be identified. A total of 158 individuals and 14 species of bees were recorded. The genus Eulaema was the most representative group of euglossine bees in relation to the total number of the sampled individuals, accounting for 50.6% of bees followed by Euglossa (26.6%), Eufriesea (15.2%) and Exaerete (7.6%). The most frequent species were Eulaema nigrita (27.8%), Eulaema cingulata (19%) and Euglossa cordata (18.3%). Many species typical of forested environments were found in samples, like Euglossa avicula, Euglossa violaceifrons and Eulaema meriana, emphasizing the role played by the Gallery Forests as bridge sites to connect the two great biomes of Amazonia and Atlantic Forest. The occurrence of Exaerete guaykuru represents the second record of this species for the Neotropical region, and both records coming from the Gallery Forest zones. The male euglossine bees were sampled mainly in the dry season, where 62.5% of the individuals were collected in that period. Eufriesea species appeared at the baits only in the wet season. The hourly frequency of bees at scent baits showed a clear preference for the morning period, where 87.9% visited the baits from 07:00 to 12:00hr. The euglossine bee fauna found in the Northeastern Maranhão Cerrado is represented chiefly by species of large geographic distribution and by some forest bee species, where their occurrence is maybe related to to the environmental conditions supported by the
