This volume of Insects of Hawaii is a systematic treatment of the
native bees of the Hawaiian Islands. Believed to be descendants of
a single female that arrived in the ancient archipelago millions of
years ago, the native yellow-faced bees are prime examples of
extraordinary evolutionary radiation. Despite their evolutionary
and ecological importance, no comprehensive work has been published
on them until now. A total of fifty-nine species are recognized,
including nine new species. Detailed keys for the identification of
species are provided for males and, for the first time, females.
The history of collections of the bees, their taxonomy, attributes
for dispersal, biology, ecology, and relations to flower plants are
discussed. Treatments of each species include annotated synonymy
and other references; diagnosis of identifying features and general
distribution; description of male and female; localities where
first collected and recent collections; flower records; and remarks
on taxonomic problems and other information. Line drawings of the
male head and genitalia are included to facilitate identification,
and all recent collection records are provided in an appendix.
