Pollen beetles (Nitidulidae: Meligethinae) are among the most abundant flower-visiting
insects in Europe. While some species damage millions of hectares of crops annually, the …

We investigated the apparent disjunction expressed in two related assemblages of species
of the genus Meligethes, ie M. futicola and its allies in the Cape region of South Africa and …

New molecular studies suggested that the family Melittidae is either a paraphyletic group
from which all the other bees are derived, or the sister clade to all other existing bees …

A taxonomic revision of members of the genus Meligethes Stephens, 1830 is carried out.
Taxonomic and distributional notes are provided on fiftythree Meligethes species, mostly …

The pollen beetle subfamily Meligethinae CG Thomson, 1859 (Nitidulidae), is distributed
throughout the Holarctic, Afrotropical, Oriental, and Australasian Regions. Previously, the …

Brassicogethes salvan (Audisio et al. Insect Systematics and Evolution, 34, 121) is certainly
among the most important and unexpected recent discoveries in the European beetle fauna …

The 24 members of the Euro‐Asiatic genus Thymogethes are highly specialized pollen
beetles associated as larvae with flowers of Lamiaceae Nepetoideae. All members of the …

Abstract The genus Meligethinus Grouvelle, 1906 represents a small group of pollen
beetles, including some twenty species distributed from southern Palaearctic areas to …

The bee family Melittidae comprises a small, but biologically fascinating, group of mostly
oligolectic bees, some of which are oil collecting. Phylogenetic relationships within this …

Recent molecular phylogenetic data showed the Melittidae as the likely sister group to all
other bees and indicated that proto-melittids could have been host-plant specialists …
