“…Considering that Ananthidium has been recovered as sister group of the clade containing Allanthidium Moure, Anthidianum Michener, Chrisanthidium Urban and Notanthidium Isensee (Parizotto 2011, see also Parizotto 2009, it is likely that these genera also make aerial resin nests. Indeed, Rozen (2015) reported recently on an aerial nest of Anthidianum chilense Urban, 2003 (as Notanthidium (Allanthidium) chilense) that is quite similar to those of Ananthidium described herein in the use of plant resins and in being attached to thin plant stems. Differently from the nests of Ananthidium reported here, in Anthidianum the nest was larger, with four brood cells, and had a more irregular and thicker outer surface, in which the cell contour could not be seen from the outside.…”

“…The tribe also possesses obligatory cleptoparasitic genera that parasitize other species of Megachilinae, with a few taxa attacking unrelated bee groups, such as Hoplostelis Dominique that parasitizes nests of orchid bees (Apinae, Euglossini). Reports on the nest biology of the tribe are relatively scarce, especially for neotropical taxa (Jörgensen 1912, Claude-Joseph 1926, Janvier 1955, Laroca and Rosado-Neto 1975, Morato and Campos 2000, Morato 2001, Alves-dos-Santos 2004, Camarotti-de-Lima and Martins 2005, Zanella and Ferreira 2005, Rozen 2015, Alvarez et al 2015. Among Brazilian species, limited information indicates that Dicranthidium arenarium (Ducke, 1907) (Laroca and Rosado-Neto 1975) and Anthodioctes manauara Urban, 1999(Morato 2001 construct their nests in abandoned mud nest of eumenine wasps.…”

Nests of bees of the anthidiine genus Ananthidium Urban (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Megachilinae)

We present data on nests of the two species of the neotropical bee genus Ananthidium Urban (Megachilinae, Anthidiini). Five nests of Ananthidium dilmae Urban, a species from southern and southeastern Brazil, were found in grassland areas at the Vila Velha State Park, Ponta Grossa, in Paraná State. The aerial nests were made of resin mixed with plant fibers and each contained one or two cells. One female and one male emerged from two of the nests. Notes on the nest of Ananthidium inerme (Friese), a species known from Argentina and Paraguay, are provided based on two nests deposited in Berlin's Museum für Naturkunde, Germany. This species also builds aerial resin nests attached to plant stems, with external shape and dimensions similar to those of Ananthidium dilmae.

herein we present information on the nesting behavior of Ochreriades fasciatus (Friese) found occupying beetle galleries in dead trunks and branches of certain trees and shrubs in israel. We also describe the pre-and postdefecating larvae thereby making known the mature larva for this uncommon Old World genus. Females of O. fasciatus build linear nests in existing burrows in dead wood; depending on the length of the burrow, 1-5 cells are placed in one nest. The cell partitions are made of hardened mud, while the nest plug consists of pebbles fixed together with mud. Ochreriades fasciatus is oligolectic on Lamiaceae and probably strongly associated with the two related genera Ballota and Moluccella. it is hoped that information concerning its nesting biology, host-plant relationships, as well as larval development and anatomy will eventually prove valuable in determining the phylogenetic position of this genus relative to other megachiline bees.1 division of invertebrate zoology, American Museum of Natural history. 2 steinhardt Museum of Natural history and National research center, Faculty of Life sciences, tel Aviv university, israel. 3 institute of Biology, university of Neuchatel, switzerland. 4 department of entomology, cornell university.

The Anthidiini is a highly diverse tribe of bees with approximately 700 described species worldwide, of which about 350 occur in the Neotropical region. However, the phylogenetic relationships within the Neotropical lineage are poorly understood and the generic limits of these clades are still controversial, with different proposals of classification. Therefore, we carried out a phylogenetic study to investigate the monophyly of Neotropical taxa, to understand the relationships among Neotropical genera, and to propose a classification congruent with the evolution of the group. We performed parsimony-based morphological analyses using a matrix of 204 characters from adults of 83 species (79 terminal taxa of Anthidiini and four outgroup taxa). The results provide strong support for the monophyly of the tribe, despite a representation biased towards the Neotropical taxa. The monophyly of a large group containing only species from Neotropical genera is also supported. The latter group is divided into six main clades, one of them composed of only cleptoparasitic taxa (Austrostelis, Hoplostelis, Melostelis and Rhynostelis). The morphological characters assembled here allowed scrutiny of the genus-level classification of the Neotropical clade and may be useful for future phylogenetic studies involving the Anthidiini from other biogeographic regions.
