Sphecodes Illinoensis
''Sphecodes'' is a genus of bees from the family Halictidae, the majority of which are black and red in colour and are colloquially known as blood bees. ''Sphecodes'' bees are kleptoparasitic on other bees, especially bees in the genera ''Lasioglossum'', ''Halictus'' and ''Andrena''. The adults consume nectar, but because they use other bees' provisions to feed their offspring they do not collect pollen. Distribution ''Sphecodes'' is a cosmopolitan genus with species represented on every continent. The genus is also very species rich, with 21 species described from Siberia, 33 species from Central Europe, 17 species from the Indian region, 26 from the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding region, and 21 from Southeast Asia. The genus is only represented in Australia in the northeast, with the species ''Sphecodes albilabris'' being thought to have been introduced to both Australia and the United States by accident. Species There are over 300 known species in the genus ''Sphecodes''. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sphecodes Gibbus
''Sphecodes gibbus'', the dark-winged blood bee, is a species of cleptoparasitic blood bee from the Palearctic. It is the type species of the genus ''Sphecodes'' and was first described by Carl Linnaeus as ''Sphex gibba'' in 1758. Description ''Sphecodes gibbus'' is a relatively large ''Sphecodes'' species with a body length of around 10mm. Like other blood bees they are mainly black and red in colour. ''S. gibbus'' is one in three species of similar sized blood bees in which the females have punctures, instead of merely rugosity, to the posterior of the ocelli. The female ''S. gibbus'' may be separated from the similar '' S. monilicornis'' by its wider, less square shaped head, the darker pubescence on the hind tibiae and thinner propodeum. The broader zone of punctures to the rear of the ocelli allow separation from '' S. reticulatus'', ''S. gibbus'' having 5-6 irregular rows of punctures rather than the 2-3 shown by ''S. reticulatus'', as well as possessing sparser punctures ...
