متن کاملPhylogeny and classification of the parasitic bee tribe Epeolini (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Nomadinae)
A generic-level cladistic analysis of the cleptoparasitic bee tribe Epeolini (Apinae: Nomadinae) is presented. One hundred and two characters of adult external morphology are identified and coded for 32 representatives of all genera and subgenera presently recognized within the tribe, along with five outgroup taxa. The resulting topology is used in the formation of a higher-level classification...
