“…To safeguard the collection from ants and other insects, naphthalene balls were mounted and Coopex® powder was distributed within the boxes. By utilising several identification keys, such as those developed by Bingham (1897), Maa (1938), Michener (2007) and Prashantha & Belavadi (2017). The study map is prepared by using QGIS v.2.4.0.…”

Island ecosystems are very unique to study the native biodiversity and several studies have indicated the regional fauna are at great risk of decline globally. Sundarban harbours one of the largest mangrove forests in the world and have been declared as UNESCO world heritage site.Regional documentation of bee fauna is a practical way of addressing the Eltonian shortfall in India. The paper is based on freshly collected samples of large carpenter bees from Sagar Island, West Bengal. Two species namely Xylocopa (Koptortosoma) aestuans (Linnaeus, 1758) and Xylocopa (Ctenoxylocopa) fenestrata (Fabricius, 1798) were encountered in field and collected subsequently. Diagnostic characters, global distribution and floral linkages of both species are augmented herein from the study site.

“…The male genitalia of X. hafizii are different from those of X. ruficornis by the median lobe arising from apex of the gonostylus but in X. ruficornis it arises from the base. This species was found nesting in wooden beams of the house roof (C. Prashantha et al,2016).…”

A preliminary detective survey for the hymenopteran insect fauna of Jazan Lake dam region, Southwest Saudi Arabia, was carried out for one year from January 2018 to January 2019 using mainly sweep nets and Malaise traps. The survey revealed the presence of three hymenopteran Superfamilies (Apoidea, Vespoidea and Evanioidea) representing 15 species belonging to 10 genera of 6 families (Apidae, Crabronidae, Sphecidae, Vespidae, Mutillidae, and Evaniidae). The largest number of species has belonged to the family Crabronidae is represented by 6 species under 2 genera. While the family Apidae, is represented by 2 species under 2 genera. Family Vespidae is represented by 2 species of one genus. While, the rest of the families Sphecidae, Mutillida, and Evaniidae each is represented by only one species and one genus each. Eleven species are predators, two species are pollinators and two species are parasitics. Note for each family was provided, and species was provided with synonyms and general and taxonomic remarks and their worldwide geographic distribution and information about their economic importance are also included. All species were photographed with dorsal and lateral views.
