Research paper thumbnail of Male description of Horcomutilla projectifrons (Cresson, 1902) Hymenoptera, Mutillidae) and the first host record for the genus

The natural history of most mutillids is unknown; for example, only 2–3% of the species have their hosts reported (Brothers 1989). Apidae species, however, are among the hymenopterans most commonly parasitized by velvet ants, with over 30 recorded cases in literature involving different genera of both host and parasite (Luz et al. 2016).

O total de espécies de abelhas registradas para Mato Grosso do Sul é de 386 espécies, incluindo morfoespécies, distribuídas em 107 gêneros e cinco subfamílias. A subfamília mais diversa é Apinae, seguida de Megachilinae, Halictinae, Colletinae e Andreninae. Acrescentamos para o Mato Grosso do Sul novos registros de distribuição de 97 espécies de abelhas.

In this paper a current list of the bee species from Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil is presented and available in the online database of collections and reported in the literature, besides own collections held in diff erent localities in the state, encompassing diff erent vegetation types. The total number of bee species recorded for Mato Grosso do Sul, including morphospecies, is 386 species, distributed in 107 genera and fi ve subfamilies. The most diverse subfamily is Apinae, followed by Megachilinae, Halictinae, Colletinae and Andreninae. We added new distribution records of 97 species of bees to Mato Grosso do Sul.

Research paper thumbnail of Review of Rhinotora (Diptera, Heleomyzidae) with description of a new species and key to all known heleomyzid species from Brazil

This work aims to provide a taxonomic review for Rhinotora Schiner, with addition of two species in the genus: Rhinotora fonsecai, which is transferred back to its original genus, and R. paschoali sp. nov. New dis-tributional records are presented for R. lopesi and R. travassosi. A key to the all known heleomyzid species recorded from Brazil is provided.
