Abstract

REYES-GONZALEZ, Alejandro; AYALA, Ricardo  and  CAMOU-GUERRERO, Andrés. New record of the stingless bee genus Plebeia (Apidae: Meliponini) in the alto Balsas, Michoacán, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2017, vol.88, n.2, pp.464-466. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmb.2017.03.018.

In this paper we report a new record of Plebeia fulvopilosa Ayala (1999) in the high mountains and adjacent sites of the Balsas Basin in Michoacán. Morphological differences of the collected specimens are compared with those previously described for the species in the mountains of southern Guerrero state, Sierra Madre del Sur.

Keywords : Meliponini; Balsas river basin; Highland meliponines; Morphological differences.
