Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Megachilidae
Name
Noteriades Cockerell – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Heriades (Noteriades) Cockerell, 1931: 332. Type species: Megachile tricarinata Bingham, 1903, by original designation.
- Noteriades: Michener 1938[1]: 514; Griswold 1994[2]: 26; Michener 2007[3]: 475.
Diagnosis
Noteriades can be easily separated from all other megachilid genera by the following combination of characters: small (4.5–10 mm), compact, hoplitiform bees with arolia present on all legs in both sexes; preoccipital carina complete; malar space linear; clypeus slightly projecting over clypeal-labral articulation; clypeus and usually supraclypeus with median longitudinal carina; pronotal lobe and omaulus carinate; scutellum carinate posteriorly; and propodeum vertical, without subhorizontal basal zone. Female. Mandible quadridentate, without differentiated cutting edges; T6 nearly vertical, except for apical hyaline flange. Male. Mandible bidentate; T1–T4 exposed dorsally, T5 and T6 curved ventrally, covering T7, S3 and remaining sterna; T6 without preapical carina; S1 subapically produced over its apical margin, forming a double carina; volsella distinct, with well-developed digitus and cuspis, and heavily sclerotized teeth resembling those of short-tongued bee families and within the Megachilidae, Pararhophites (Fideliinae).
Comments
Griswold (1985; 1994) provided the first synoptic list of species of Noteriades, transferring most of them from Heriades. The species list presented in Table 1 is provisional; an on-going revision of the genus by the authors has revealed several undescribed species as well as new synonyms.
