Abstract

ENGEL, MICHAEL S.. NOTES ON THE AUGOCHLORINE BEE GENUS CHLEROGAS (HYMENOPTERA: HALICTIDAE). Caldasia [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.2, pp. 449-457. ISSN 0366-5232.

Supplemental information to the earlier monograph of the rare bee genus Chlerogas Vachal (Halictinae: Augochlorini) is provided. The recently identified males of C. boliviensis Brooks & Engel and C. cyaneus Brooks & Engel are described and figured, including the first account of the eversible endophallic structure for the genus. In addition, C. cyaneus, previously known only from northern Ecuador, is newly recorded from north-central Colombia.
