ABSTRACT
By attracting male orchid bees with eight chemical baits in the gallery forest of the Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães, southern Mato Grosso state, Brazil, I found several males belongs to all Euglossini bee genera. Male euglosine bees were collected monthly using an entomological net as they arrived at the baits. From September 2003 to July 2005, the baits were applied to absorbent paper pads from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. From 24 collections, a total of 264 males were captured, spread throughout the five genera of the tribe and belonging to 30 valid species. Of all the males collected, only one was Euglossa cognata Moure, reported to occur from Costa Rica to southern Brazil, and herein recorded to the Platina Basin for the first time. The results clarify the distributional gap and amplified the geographic distributional range of E. cognata in South America.
RESUMO
Oito iscas-odores foram utilizadas para atrair machos das abelhas Euglossini na floresta de galeria do Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães, sul de Mato Grosso. De setembro de 2003 a julho de 2005, uma vez por mês, das 08:00 às 16:00 horas, os machos foram capturados conforme chegavam às iscas-odores. Durante as 24 coletas, foram capturados 264 machos, distribuídos pelos cinco gêneros da tribo e pertencentes a 30 espécies válidas. Do total de machos coletados, apenas um era de Euglossa cognata Moure, espécie com distribuição geográfica desde a Costa Rica até o sudeste do Brasil, todavia sem registro anterior para a Bacia Platina. O resultado aqui apresentado amplia a distribuição geográfica de E. cognata na América do Sul.
