03C387C0FF81101BFF74F88F2DE8FC17.taxon	discussion	Comments. The name Paracolletinae has a problematic history, as described by Engel (2005: 8; see also Michener 1991: 227 – 229; ICZN 1993). A controversial taxonomic change to be made to the higher-level taxonomy of Colletidae will very likely be the replacement of the name Paracolletinae. The molecular phylogeny of Colletidae (Almeida 2007; Almeida & Danforth, in press) provides strong evidence that Paracolletes is more closely related to Diphaglossinae than to the remaining genera of Paracolletinae. The latter will need a name other than “ Paracolletinae ” in case Paracolletes proves not to belong with those taxa. Despite the evidence of paraphyly of Paracolletinae in relation to the other colletid subfamilies, I have two reasons for not proposing a name change for Paracolletinae at this moment. (1) No unambiguous morphological synapomorphies for the clade formed by all “ Paracolletinae ” except Paracolletes are yet known. Moreover, the sister-group relationship of Paracolletes and Diphaglossinae should also be confirmable by shared morphological characters. (2) The precise limits of the subfamily to be proposed need to be investigated. This can be done via a careful study of Paracolletinae that includes an even broader taxonomic sampling than that of Almeida and Danforth (in press). In brief, it seems premature to propose such a radical taxonomic change as the replacement of the name Paracolletinae. A morphological study of Paracolletinae is underway (Almeida, in prep.), which is expected to further illuminate changes to be made. Currently, Paracolletinae is morphologically recognizable by means of widely available taxonomic keys (e. g., Michener 2007) and I refrain from proposing taxonomic changes prematurely to avoid instability in classification of Colletidae.	en	Almeida, Eduardo A.

03C387C0FF86101AFF74FA7F2D35FED7.taxon	discussion	Comments. Michener (1965) grouped Anthoglossa and Paracolletes under the genus-name Paracolletes, as subgenera of the latter. These two groups are superficially very similar, but the first phylogenetic hypothesis to include representatives from both taxa (Almeida 2007; Almeida & Danforth, in press) did not find evidence that they constitute sister taxa. Usage of the generic concept of ‘ Paracolletes s. l. ’ can therefore be misleading for suggesting a sister-group relationship between the two taxa being treated as subgenera in that case.	en	Almeida, Eduardo A.

03C387C0FF8B1014FF74FF2A2F87FDBF.taxon	discussion	Comments. Leioproctus is the largest genus of Paracolletinae and has never been revised in a comprehensive manner. Michener (1965: 48 – 52) recognized groups of species within Leioproctus (as here defined — his subgenus Leioproctus s. str.), which facilitate species-level identification. Two additional groups were recently recognized: the Leioproctus conospermi and L. capito species-groups are associated with flowers of Conospermum and Eremophila, respectively, and were revised by Houston (1989, 1990). All the species known from New Zealand were reviewed by Donovan (2007). Extensive revisionary work is needed for the clarification of species identities within Leioproctus and for the delimitation of smaller, monophyletic groups which will be afforded either generic or subgeneric or status.	en	Almeida, Eduardo A.

This species can be easily distinguished from other Andrenopsis by the tuberculate metanotum slightly projecting over the metapostnotum (not tuberculate in the remaining Andrenopsis species), the weak metallic tints (not metallic in the other species of this genus); and the weakly protuberant clypeus of the male (in all other species, the clypeus is “ protuberant in front of the eyes to the extent of nearly half the eye width, seen from the side ” [Michener 1965: p. 71]).	en	Almeida, Eduardo A.

Anterior tentorial pit located on epistomal suture, closer to junction with subantennal suture than to base of mandible. Facial fovea relatively small, not impressed (recognizable by the unsculptured, shiny integument), more than three times as long as wide (width 0.18 mm, length 0.56 mm). Frontal line forming a narrow and moderately deep sulcus on frons up to the margin of the median ocellus. Vertex projecting above lateral ocelli in frontal view by about one ocellar diameter (Fig. 5); vertex concavate between lateral ocellus and compound eye; small area between lateral ocelli and behind median ocellus depressed. Gena at broadest (one-fifth from dorsal portion of compound eye) approximately three-fourths of width of compound eye, progressively narrower ventrally, becoming absent at about 1 / 4 from ventral portion of eye (Fig. 3). Scape reaching upper margin of median ocellus, length of scape, pedicel: 0.94, 0.18 mm; F 1 almost twice as long as F 2 (0.23, 0.13 mm), F 11 longest: 0.32 mm, F 3, F 5 intermediate in length (0.18, 0.2 mm), diameter of F 5 0.19 mm. Length of mesoscutum 1.8 mm, intertegular distance 2.0 mm. Disc of scutellum largely flat, except for depressed median longitudinal area, depression approximately one flagellar diameter wide. Metanotum tuberculate and slightly raised over anterior margin of metapostnotum. Surface of metapostnotum almost wholly vertical, except for a short basal zone less declivous than posterior surface. Forewing with two submarginal cells, approximately equal in length on posterior margin (1 st and 2 nd cells: 0.90, 0.99 mm). Length and width of prestigma: 0.28, 0.16 mm; stigma relatively small, nearly parallel sided, length and width: 0.66, 0.18 mm.

Jugal lobe of hind wing lacking. Hamuli 10 on left wing, 8 on right wing, distal hamuli more closely and evenly spaced (in the other males of the type-series, number of hamuli varying from 8 to 11 on each wing). Hind femur swollen (Fig. 2). Basitibial plate more than twice as long as wide (0.46 x 0.2 mm), nearly one fourth as long as tibia; apex pointed, plate well delimited by marginal carinae that converge apically to form a pointed apex; apex of plate extending as a longitudinal carina on outer surface of tibia, which gradually fades out as a ridge that ends at tibial midlength. Inner surface of tibia longitudinally carinate, inner surface broadened apically (Figs. 2, 4). Outer surface of hind basitarsus with short longitudinal carina basally. Inner hind tibial spur finely serrate, numerous teeth, longer than wide (approximately one-third as long as diameter of the spur rachis). Metasoma oval, T 2 widest (Fig. 2). Marginal region of T 1 – T 4 depressed in relation to disc, marginal area of T 1 slightly more than one-third of as long as horizontal surface measured on median line. Pygidial plate triangular, noticeable for the surface bare and shiny.

03C387C0FF931008FF74FA0F2881F9E9.taxon	discussion	Comments. Four nuclear gene loci of Andrenopsis michenerianus were sequenced for the phylogenetic study of Almeida and Danforth (in press): elongation factor 1 alpha (F 2 copy), LW-rhodopsin, wingless, and 28 S rRNA; respective GenBank Accession Numbers of these sequences are: DQ 884637, DQ 884538, DQ 884785, DQ 768526. A. michenerianus was positioned as sister of the other species of Andrenopsis included in the phylogenetic analyses of that study, and the two were placed as sister group of Neopasiphae (Fig. 1; Almeida and Danforth, in press).	en	Almeida, Eduardo A.
