Paratetrapedia lineata Melo & Zanella (2003) : 2919 Revision and phylogeny of the bee genus Paratetrapedia Moure, with description of a new genus from the Andean Cordillera (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Tapinotaspidini) Aguiar, Antonio J. C. Melo, Gabriel A. R. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 2011 2011-05-27 162 2 351 442 6TRRH Aguiar & Melo, 2011 Aguiar & Melo 2011 [255,586,1780,1801] Insecta Apidae Paratetrapedia Animalia Hymenoptera 51 402 Arthropoda species flaveola sp. nov.  ( FIGS 18, 23, 28, 31, 47, 75, 78, 105, 136, 191, 192)     Paratetrapedia lineata;  Melo & Zanella (2003): 2919(misidentification).   Comments and diagnosis: Paratetrapedia flaveolais superficially very similar to  P. lineatain body size, structure, and colour pattern. However, they belong to different species groups and are quite distinct in the diagnostic characteristics for these groups.  Paratetrapedia flaveoladiffers from the species of the lineata group by the narrowed upper portion of the yellow stripe on the female paraocular area( Fig. 47); genal area mostly reddish brown with narrow yellow stripe along eye margin (about 0.8 ¥ F2 diameter), usually interrupted on mid third in females; metapostnotum completely black, with dense minute punctures on lateral portions and coarser punctures on disc; lamella of pronotal collar with lateral portions obtuse in dorsal view; male S2 with two small rows of setae on mid portion.  Paratetrapedia flaveoladiffers from  P. atlantica,  P. rufa,  P. albilabris,  P. andina, and  P. albopilosaby the bicoloured integument (dark brown and yellow), and by male T5 with band of dense plumose hairs extending throughout its entire margin.  Paratetrapedia flaveoladiffers from  P. camargoiand  P. chocoensismainly by hyaline wing membrane and dark brown disc of terga. The specimens of  P. flaveolacollected by Helmut Heider in Vila Tunari ( Cochabamba, Bolivia) represent the first records of  Paratetrapediaon orchid oil flowers of the genera  Ornithophora amazonica(labelled as Stigmatostalix) and  Oncidium.  Description   Holotypemale:Body length: 8.5; maximum head width: 2.4; fore wing length (including tegula): 6.75. Colour. Integument bicoloured (reddish brown and yellow), mainly yellow. Mandible yellow with apex black; labrum yellow; clypeus mostly yellow with upper lateral portions dark brown; supraclypeal area mostly yellow, with lower margin dark brown; yellow stripe on paraocular area acute on upper portion; frons reddish brown with one thin yellow stripe ( Fig. 47); genal area reddish brown with thin yellow stripe along ocular margin, brown with thin yellow stripe along ocular margin. 0.8 ¥ F2 diameter; scape yellow; pedicel and flagellomeres with anterior surface orange yellow and posterior surface reddish brown. Mesoscutum with two thin yellow stripes on disc and lateral margins; scutellum and metanotum yellow; axilla brown; lateral areas of metanotum dark brown; metapostnotum completely reddish brown; propodeum mostly brown with small yellow marks slightly faint on upper and lower margins; mesepisternum laterally with upper portion yellow and lower portion reddish brown. Tergal disc yellow, with anterior and posterior margins reddish brown; sterna yellow. Wing membrane mostly white infumate with white microtrichia. Fore wing membrane slightly yellow infumate on proximal third, with some yellow microtrichia; posterior margin with some dark brown microtrichia; veins and pterostigma orange yellow. Mid and hind basitarsus dark brown; tibial spurs white. Pubescence. Mostly pale yellow, except marginal bands of T3–T5 and basitarsus of mid and hind legs with pubescence dark brown. Inner face of scape with pale yellow setae, about 0.12–0.26 mmin length. Mesoscutum and scutellum with dense velvet plumose pale yellow pubescence; scutellum with long erect simple setae, about 0.10–0.17 mmin length; metapostnotum with yellow plumose hairs, about 0.17 mmin length. T4 with marginal hair band of brown plumose hairs almost complete, with two small gaps on lateral portions; T5–T6 with marginal band of long plumose hairs occupying whole margin; on T5, with dark brown hairs; on T6, pale yellow; margin of S2 with two short rows of stout setae on middle portion ( Fig. 28); posterior margin of S3 of male deeply concave in ‘U’ shape, covered by dense short plumose pubescence; S4 and S5 typical of genus; S6 with two rows of stout plumose hairs on lateral margins, and short plumose hairs on margin of apex. Integument sculpture. Clypeus with dense coarse punctures (1 pd), intermingled amongst sparse fine punctures (1–2 pd); supraclypeal area with dense coarse punctures (0.5–2 pd); frons with dense coarse punctures (0.5–2 pd); antennal scrobe with dense fine punctures ( <0.5 pd). Mesoscutum and scutellum with dense fine punctures ( <0.5 pd), intermingled amongst coarser and sparser punctures (1–3 pd); metapostnotum with dense fine punctures on lateral portions (0.5 pd), and coarser punctures on disc (0.5–1 pd); mesepisternum laterally with dense coarse punctures ( <1 pd). Structure. Lamella of pronotal collar weakly obtuse on lateral portions, with acute carina distinctly on mid portion. Disc of scutellum weakly convex, almost flat. Head about 1.3¥ broader than long (2.6: 2.0); ratio of lower interocular distance to upper interocular distance: 0.71 (1.0: 1.4); clypeus about 1.7¥ broader than long (1.03: 0.58); scape, length 0.6; maximum width 0.2; length of F1–F3: 0.17, 0.14, 0.21; diameter of F2: 0.2.   Paratypefemale:Body length: 7.7; maximum head width: 2.4; fore wing length (including tegula): 6.2. Colour. Similar to male, except for yellow stripe on mid line of frons broader (about 0.5–2.0 ¥ F2 diameter). Pubescence. Similar to male, except for marginal band on T5–T6 with reddish brown simple hairs; S2–S4 with rows of setae on margin, sinuated in ‘V’ on mid portion ( Fig. 31). Integument sculpture. Similar to male, except for denser punctures on clypeus and supraclypeal area; clypeus and supraclypeal area with dense coarse punctures ( <0.5 pd); frons mostly with dense fine punctures ( <0.5 pd), with few coarser punctures adjacent to mid line. Mesoscutum and scutellum with dense fine punctures (0.5 pd), intermingled amongst sparser coarser punctures; mesepisternum laterally with dense coarse punctures (0.5–1 pd). Structure. Similar to male, except for pronotal collar with lamella more obtuse laterally. Disc of scutellum weakly convex, almost flat. Head about 1.3¥ broader than long (1.85: 2.4); ratio of lower interocular distance to upper interocular distance: 0.85 (1.25: 1.46); clypeus about 1.9¥ broader than long (1.21: 0.62); scape: length 0.7, maximum width 0.19; length of F1–F3: 0.22, 0.12, 0.17; diameter of F2: 0.21.  Variation:The females have the yellow stripe on genal area complete or interrupted on mid third, but it is always very narrow ( c. 0.8 ¥ F2 diameter). The yellow stripe on paraocular area in a few specimens has an obtuse apical portion. The pubescence of mid and hind leg can vary between pale yellow to completely dark brown.  Etymology:The species name refers to the yellow pattern of colour of the integument.  Distribution: Bolivia; Brazil: Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Bahia, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, São Paulo, Tocantins; Ecuador; Guyana; Peru; Suriname( Fig. 75).  Type material: Holotypemale, ‘DZUP\ 022427’ ‘Brazil, São Paulo, Cajuru,\ Fazenda Rio Grande,\ 21°12 ′S 47°09 ′W,\ 25.iii.2000, G.A.R.
