“…( 93 ). As outgroups for comparative analyses, we obtained specimens of C. atripes [tribe Centridini, a close relative of the corbiculates ( 94 )] and A. abrupta [tribe Anthophorini, which is a more distant outgroup but still belongs to the “Apine line” of subfamily Apinae ( 95 )]. Where available, sympatric bees were collected at the same time and location.…”

“…For most stingless bee samples, the mitochondrial 16 S rRNA gene was also sequenced, following Rasmussen and Cameron ( 90 ). For C. atripes and A. abrupta , the 28 S rRNA gene was sequenced, following Martins et al ( 94 ). Sequences were classified on the basis of the closest BLAST hits in the GenBank nonredundant (nr) database (data file S1).…”

“…The symbiont genera Gilliamella, Snodgrassella, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium may be ancestral to corbiculates (originating ca. 80 Mya 60 ), and are presently all found in Apis and Bombus bees. 4,12,14,18 Stingless bees (Meliponini) appear to have lost Gilliamella and Snodgrassella, 18,61 but retain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.…”

“…The Euglossini is Neotropical in distribution and comprises 187 species of medium to large-sized (8.5-29.0 mm length), moderately to densely hairy bees arranged in five current genera: Aglae; Eufriesea;Euglossa;Eulaema;and Exaerete (raMírez et al 2002;Michener 2007;Martins et al 2014). Information about the known nesting biology of orchid bees was summarized by raMírez et al (2002), reporting that these bees nest in hollow trees, in bamboo stems, under tree bark, in wooden boxes made by humans, in ground cavities, under rocks, inside active nest of ants and termites, in abandoned carton nests of social wasps, and in nests of carpenter bees excavated in wood, in abandoned dens of small mammals and land crabs, in aerial nests made of resin and attached to the undersides of leave or twigs, and in buildings.…”

Abstract. Orchid bees (Euglossini) are medium to large-sized species with fully or partially metallic body that are relatively common in the Neotropical Region. Nevertheless, the nesting biology of many species remains unknown. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide new information on the nesting biology of five species of Euglossini found in urban and forested sites of Brazilian Amazon. The nests of Eufriesea pulchra (Smith) and Euglossa chalybeata Friese were recorded for the first time, found in an active nest of the ant Azteca sp. and in a fallen rotting tree, respectively. The nest of Euglossa townsendi (Linnaeus) was found in the leaf of an ornamental plant Cordyline sp. (Asparagaceae), also newly recorded. Euglossa intersecta Latreille was recorded nesting in an abandoned termite nest, and Euglossa cordata Cockerell was found nesting in a tubular metal window handle.Keywords: Apinae; Bee; Eufriesea; Euglossa; Nest.Notas sobre a biologia de nidificação de cinco espécies de Euglossini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) na Amazônia BrasileiraResumo. As abelhas-da-orquídea (Euglossini) possuem tamanho médio a grande, corpo parcialmente ou completamente metálico e são relativamente comuns na região Neotropical. Apesar disso, a biologia de nidificação da maioria das espécies permanece desconhecida. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo e fornecer novas informações sobre a biologia de nidificação de cinco espécies de Euglossini encontradas em área urbana e florestada da Amazônia Brasileira. Os ninhos de Eufriesea pulchra (Smith) e Euglossa chalybeata Friese foram registrados pela primeira vez, encontrados dentro de ninho de formiga Azteca sp. e em uma árvore apodrecida caída, respectivamente. O ninho de Euglossa townsendi Cockerell foi registrado pela primeira vez em uma folha da planta ornamental Cordyline sp. (Asparagaceae). Euglossa intersecta Latreille foi registrada nidificando dentro de um ninho abandonado de cupim e Euglossa cordata (Linnaeus) foi encontrada nidificando em uma maçaneta tubular de metal de uma janela.
