The Solitary Bee Calliopsis zebrata: Biological and Distributional Notes and Description of Its Larva (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae: Panurginae)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Rozen, Jerome G. (2008): The Solitary Bee Calliopsis zebrata: Biological and Distributional Notes and Description of Its Larva (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae: Panurginae). American Museum Novitates 3632 (1): 1-12, DOI: 10.1206/628.1, URL: bioone.org/perlserv/?request=get-abstract&doi=10.1206%2F628.1 ABSTRACT Calliopsis (Macronomadopsis) zebrata zebrata Cresson, collected from Astragalus gracilis Nutt., is reported from central Oklahoma, the most eastern locality for those Calliopsis with yellowbanded metasomas (i.e., Nomadopsis, s.l.).

A long series of males and females of C. z. bobbae Rozen, associated with Astragalus humistratus A. Gray from Flagstaff, Arizona, permits an expanded description of that subspecies, comparing it with C. z. zebrata. Presented information on its nesting biology and mating behavior shows that these features are similar to those of the other species of Macronomadopsis whose biology is known. Mature larvae of both subspecies are described for the first time and compared with each other.
