Taxonavigation

Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Colletidae
Genus: Hylaeus

Name

Hylaeus pictipes (Nylander) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Description

Small black bee (wing length 3.5 mm, total length c. 5 mm) with elongate face, yellow face patterns, and black mandibles (Fig. 5b, d, 6c); groove (fovea) alongside inner eye margin curved towards lateral ocelli (cf. Falk and Lewington 2015[1], p. 81).

Distinguishing features

Smallest Hylaeus in the Azores, male with yellow face pattern exceeding insertion point of antennae, female face pattern with two small trapezoidal yellow spots; legs of males mainly yellow.

General distribution

Eurasia, from Portugal to the Caucasus.

Distribution in the Azores

Corvo, Faial, Flores, Graciosa, Pico, São Miguel.

First record

1938 (first mentioned in Warncke 1992b[2]).

Nesting

Builds nests in pithy stems or uses existing cavities (e.g., hollow twigs, holes of wood-boring beetles).

Social behaviour

Solitary.

Foraging

Polylectic, observed on Ranunculaceae (Ranunculus cortusifolius) (Fig. 6d) and Asteraceae (Solidago azorica, Helminthotheca echioides).

Phenology

June-August.

Material

Faial (Horta), 30.06.–05.07.1938, 1 female, leg. Richard K. H. Frey; Pico (Madalena), 6–9.07.1938, 1 male, leg. Ragnar Storå; Pico (Madalena), 6–9.07.1938, 1 female, leg. Richard K. H. Frey; S. Miguel (San Roque), 21.07.1938, 1 male, leg. Richard K. H. Frey, all det. and coll. Warncke (Linz). Corvo, 3 males; Graciosa (rim of Caldeira), 1 male; Pico (São Roque), 2 females, all leg. H. Schaefer, coll. TUM (B3-B7, B44).
The COI sequence of specimen H. Schaefer B6 (TUM), acc. no. KX824777, differs in 1–7 positions from the five Hylaeus pictipes sequences from Spain and Germany in GenBank (see Fig. 2).

ML phylogeny estimate of the bee species of the Azores archipelago based on 657 nucleotides of the COI gene; sequences of Azorean samples in red, those from other regions in black; the phylogeny is rooted on the Azorean invasive Vespula germanica; for sequences downloaded from GenBank, the accession numbers are given, for new Azorean sequences we give the collection number of TUM; the two species Megachile concinna and Hylaeus azorae are missing in the tree because of lack of material from the Azores for sequencing and lack of sequences from other sources.
