Abstract
ABSTRACT A new species of cuckoo bee, Thyreus narendrani sp. nov. is described from Kerala, India. This species resembles Thyreus massuri and Thyreus irena and mainly differs by the presence of unequally divided hair band of tergite 3, which forms two isolated spots. http://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:DE52F4A4-078D-422A-AB76-8A594694A625
期刊介绍:
Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
