Additional reports of solitary potter wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae) in Bhutan
Main Article Content
Abstract
The knowledge on subfamily Eumeninae is still in its infancy in Bhutan. Eumenid species of Bhutan is increased to 22 with the report of 11 more species and an additional subspecies in this paper. The species Antepipona bhutanensis, endemic to Bhutan, is reported here after 42 years of its original description, through two male specimens from Paro and Chhukha districts. Its distribution range is expanded to Chhukha District. Parasitic mite association is reported in two males of Antodynerus limbatus collected at 222m and 720m altitude.Â
