Notes on the bee genus Alloscirtetica Holmberg, 1909 in northern Chile with the description of two new altiplanic species and a key for the Chilean species of Eucerini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Author Vivallo, Felipe text Zootaxa 2009 2010 16 30 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.185792 e3f619a9-30b0-4314-97c4-4b022723cd38 1175-5326 185792 Peponapis Robertson The genus Poponapis contains several species, which are distributed mostly in North and Central America ( Urban et al . 2007 ). All species of the genus visit crops of Cucurbita to obtain pollen ( Hurd & Linsley 1967 ; Wagenknecht 1970 ). Some species are broadly distributed, due to the extension of cultivation of domestic Cucurbita ( Michener 2007 ) . The South American species of Peponapis were reviewed by Hurd & Linsley (1967) . These autors also illustratrated some male structures of the species P . fervens , P . melonis (Friese) and P . citrullina (Cockerell) , the latter being the only species of Peponapis represented in Chile .
