“…Within the Hymenoptera Apoidea Anthophila only a single species of the genus Bombus is native to Iceland: Bombus (Pyrobombus) jonellus (Kirby, 1802), see KLINCKOWSTRÖM (1913) and PRŶS-JONES et al (1981). This is also documented in a chronological bibliographical study from ca.…”

“…Kirby (1802) described the genus Melitta (from "Melitta", which means bee in Greek) to separate two groups of bees: the short-tongued and the long-tongued bees. In Kirby's understanding of the bees, Melitta included all short-tongued bee; the long-tongued bees remained in the genus Apis.…”

Abstract. Bees comprise a monophyletic group of seven families with more than 16000 described species worldwide. Convincing new phylogenetic hypotheses suggest that one of the smallest families, the Melittidae, could be the basal group of the bee clade. Among the 14 melittid genera, the genus Melitta Kirby 1802, is the most widespread and one of the most diverse. Most revisionary studies of Melitta were confi ned to limited geographical areas.

Abstract. Revision of the Xylocopinae (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of France and Belgium. The paper presents the results of a study of 6,263 specimens of Xylocopinae caught in Belgium, France and Corsica, from personal collection and from 63 different institutions and private collections. Eleven species of the genus Ceratina and four species of the genus Xylocopa belong to the French fauna of Xylocopinae. Only two of those species are present in Belgium: Xylocopa violacea (L.) et Ceratina cyanea (Kirby). A new subgenus of the genus Ceratina is described: Dalyatina n. subg. The Mediterranean species Ceratina parvula Smith, present in France (as well as six other species from subsaharian Africa) is included in that new subgenus. For each genus, subgenus and species, the authors give a diagnosis, a differential diagnosis, a list of visited fl owers, a list of the nesting substrates, a map showing the French distribution, a graph of the phenology and a key to genera, subgenera and species. The systematics, biogeography, ecology and sex-ratio of the species are presented and discussed. The Xylocopinae are shown to be strongly polylectic but show a clear preference for Lamiaceae, Asteraceae Cardueae and, for the genus Xylocopa, to Fabaceae. All the species show a phenology which extends from April to September. The sex-ratio of the majority of the species is female-biased. 120 females of C. parvula have been observed but not a single male (capture of adults on fl owers and examined nests), suggesting that, at least in France, the species could reproduce by thelitokous parthenogenesis as it is the case with C. dallatorreana Friese. The paper includes 62 line drawings, 18 SEM photos, 17 maps and 14 phenological graphs, and provides a list of 232 plant species visited by the Xylocopinae, including 176 original observations, and 171 papers cited. Pour chaque genre, sous-genre et espèce, les auteurs fournissent une diagnose, une diagnose différentielle, la liste des fl eurs visitées, la liste des sites de nidifi cation, la carte de distribution en France métropolitaine, un diagramme phénologique et une clé d'identifi cation des genres, sous-genres et espèces. La systématique, la biogéographie, l'écologie et le sexe ratio des espèces sont présentés et discutés. Les Xylocopinae apparaissent comme très largement polylectiques mais montrent une très nette affi nité envers les Lamiaceae, les Asteraceae Cardueae et, pour le genre Xylocopa, envers les Fabaceae. Toutes les espèces présentent une phénologie estivale qui s'étend d'avril à septembre. Le sexe-ratio de la plupart des espèces est biaisé vers les femelles. Aucun mâle de C. parvula, pour 120 femelles, n'a été observé ce qui suggère que, en France du moins, l'espèce pourrait se reproduire par parthénogenèse thélytoque comme c'est le cas de C. dallatorreana Friese. La publication comprend 62 dessins au trait, 18 photos au microscope électronique à balayage, 17 cartes, 14 graphiques de phénologie, une liste de 232 espèces de fl eurs visitées par les Xylocopinae, dont 176 observatio...
