ABSTRACT
The orchid-bee faunas of the ‘Parque Nacional do Pau Brasil' (8,500 ha) and ‘RPPN Estação Veracel' (6,000 ha), two Atlantic Forest remnants in the southern state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, were surveyed. Seventeen chemical compounds were used as scent baits to attract orchid-bee males. Seven hundred and twelve males belonging to 20 species were actively collected with insect nets during 80 hours in February and April, 2009. Euglossa marianae Nemésio, 2011, the most sensitive orchid-bee species of the Atlantic Forest, was recorded at both preserves, though in low abundance. ‘RPPN Estação Veracel' is the smallest forest patch where Euglossa marianae has ever been recorded.
RESUMO
As faunas de abelhas-das-orquídeas do Parque Nacional do Pau-Brasil (8,500 ha) e da RPPN Estação Veracel (6,000 ha), dois remanescentes de Mata Atlântica no sul da Bahia, Nordeste do Brasil, foram amostradas. Dezessete iscas atrativas a machos de abelhas-das-orquídeas foram utilizadas. Setecentos e doze machos pertencentes a 20 espécies foram coletados com o uso de redes entomológicas durante 80 horas, em fevereiro e abril de 2009. Euglossa marianae Nemésio, 2011, a espécie de abelha euglossina mais dependente de ambientes florestais, foi registrada nas duas áreas, embora pouco abundante. A RPPN Estação Veracel é a menor área onde essa espécie já foi coletada.
