  • A new Ctenoplectrine bee from Sulawesi (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
    Engel, Michael S.
    A new species of the bee genus Ctenoplectra Kirby (Apinae: Euceriti: Ctenoplectrini) is described and figured from a series of males and females collected in central and northeastern Sulawesi ... (Indonesia). Ctenoplectra elsei sp. n. is most superficially similar to C. chalybea Smith (a largely mainland species with which many metallic blue species are confused) but differs in integumental sculpturing and structure of the terminalic sclerites, among other features. The species has been collected from Momordica cochinchinensis (Lour.) Spreng. (Cucurbitaceae: Cucurbitoideae: Joliffieae: Thladianthinae). The available information on nesting biology in Ctenoplectra is briefly reviewed along with flower visitation by Southeast Asian species.
