ZooBank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:94837C5A-59EE-4D4E-B1FA-44CF5BD63BD4
TYPE SPECIES: Trigona fuscipennis Friese, 1900 .
DIAGNOSIS: This group includes those obligately hemipterophilic species of Trigona . The subgenus is characterized by the following combination of traits: integument entirely dark brown to black; forewing membrane hyaline clear to lightly infumate; mandible quinquedentate; labrum simple, surface gently and evenly convex; clypeus in profile without numerous erect bristles; scape with fine, fuscous setae, such setae shorter than scape diameter ( Fig. 150 View Figures 149–150 ); vertex with distinct postocellar ridge ( Figs. 147, 148 View Figures 147–148 ); distance from median ocellus to postocellar ridge less than ocellar diameter ( Fig. 148 View Figures 147–148 ); metatibia with distinct corbicula, with retromarginal fringe setae abundant.
ETYMOLOGY: The new subgeneric name is a combination of the Greek ktinotrofía (Κτηνοτροφία), meaning, “animal husbandry”, and refers to the obligate hemipterophily of these species. The gender of the name is feminine.
INCLUDED SPECIES: In addition to the type species, the subgenus includes T. albipennis Almeida .
A Journal of Bee Biology, Ecology, Evolution, & Systematics
The Journal of Melitology is an international, open access journal that seeks to rapidly disseminate the results of research conducted on bees (Apoidea: Anthophila) in their broadest sense. Our mission is to promote the understanding and conservation of wild and managed bees and to facilitate communication and collaboration among researchers and the public worldwide. The Journal covers all aspects of bee research including but not limited to: anatomy, behavioral ecology, biodiversity, biogeography, chemical ecology, comparative morphology, conservation, cultural aspects, cytogenetics, ecology, ethnobiology, history, identification (keys), invasion ecology, management, melitopalynology, molecular ecology, neurobiology, occurrence data, paleontology, parasitism, phenology, phylogeny, physiology, pollination biology, sociobiology, systematics, and taxonomy.
The Journal of Melitology was established at the University of Kansas through the efforts of Michael S. Engel , Victor H. Gonzalez, Ismael A. Hinojosa-Díaz, and Charles D. Michener in 2013 and each article is published as its own number, with issues appearing online as soon as they are ready. Papers are composed using Microsoft Word® and Adobe InDesign® in Lawrence, Kansas, USA .
