New Records for Monobia Saussure (Hymenoptera: Eumenidae) in South Texas and Northeast Mexico
Abstract
Monobia is a Tropical American genus, which ranges also into the southwestern and northeastern United States. The Neotropic M. biangulata Saussure, the Nearctic M. quadridens (Linnaeus), and the Sonoran M. texana (Cresson) represent Monobia in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas and in adjacent Mexico. Populations of these species inhabiting the study area show some differences in phaenology, habitat preference, and flower selection. Monobia biangulata is recorded for the 1st time from the United States and M. quadridens is cited as new for Mexico.Downloads
