The first report of Melipona (Michmelia) rufiventris Lepeletier, 1836 in the municipality of Sacramento, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Keywords:
endemic species, Savannah, stingless beeAbstract
A survey of the apifauna was performed in a conservation area formed by phytophysiognomies of a Cerrado Biome located in Sacramento, Minas Gerais. The sampling of bees was carried out through collecting individuals during their flower visits, using aromatic baits, and actively searching for nests. Seventeen bee species were registered, among them, a nest of Melipona rufiventris. Considering that this species had never been registered in the municipality of Sacramento (Minas Gerais, Brazil) and that it is also a species endemic to the Cerrado and in danger of extinction, dependent on protected remnants, and that suffers from several anthropic actions, this note has relevance and contributes to the biogeographic knowledge of the species.
