A Key to the Parasitic Euglossine Bees and a New Species of Exaerete from Mexico (Hymenoptera-Apoidea)

Abstract

The parasitic genera of the Euglossini are among the most brilliant and magnificent of the bees. While studing the collection of the Snow Entomological Museum at The University of Kansas, I found one male specimen of Exaerete from well north of the previously known range of these bees, and it apparently is a new species closely related to Exaerete dentata (Linnaeus).o Exaerete dentata (Linnaeus).
