摘要

Minixi suffusum的巢提供了一种罕见的模仿形式:在巴西中西部的杜拉多斯ms市，记录了波特黄蜂对巢的伪装，观察了M. suffusum的筑巢生物学和参与伪装行动的材料。11个巢被取样，总共有38个细胞。使用尿酸对细胞进行染色在所有巢中都很明显。观察了黄蜂染色细胞的方式。本文报道了沙粘粉虱的基质巢址、季节、幼虫生物学、性别比、猎物和寄生蜂。巢穴伪装可能与防御天敌有关。

Bird dropping masquerading of the nest by the potter wasp Minixi suffusum (Fox, 1899) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae)

The nest of Minixi suffusum offers a rare form of mimicry: bird dropping masquerading of the nest by the potter wasp was recorded in mid-western Brazil, in the municipality of Dourados MS. Nesting biology of M. suffusum and the material involved in the action of the camouflage were observed. Eleven nests were sampled, with a total of 38 cells. Use of uric acid for staining the cell was evident in all nests. The way that the wasp stains the cells was observed. Substrate nest site, seasonality, larvae biology, sex ratio, prey and parasitoids of M. suffusum were reported. Nest camouflage may be related to defense against natural enemies.

期刊介绍： Tropical Zoology is an international zoological journal publishing original papers in the field of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, ecology and conservation of all terrestrial and aquatic animal Phyla from tropical and subtropical areas. Only papers with new information, high quality and broad interest are considered. Single species description and checklists are not normally accepted. Review papers are welcome. The journal is owned by the Istituto di Ricerca sugli Ecosistemi Terrestri of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Florence, Italy (CNR-IRET) who performs research into the structure and functioning of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, focusing in particular on anthropogenic pressure and global change. The knowledge amassed forms the scientific basis for identifying the most appropriate protective and corrective interventions, and provides support for the bodies entrusted with formulating policies for environmental protection and recovery.
