ENGEL, MICHAEL S.  and  GONZALEZ, VICTOR H.. A NEW SPECIES OF CHLEROGAS FROM THE ANDES OF CENTRAL COLOMBIA (HYMENOPTERA: HALICTIDAE). Caldasia [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.2, pp.441-447. ISSN 0366-5232.

A new species of the long-headed bee genus Chlerogas Vachal (Halictinae: Augochlorini) is described and figured from a male captured at high elevation in central Colombia. Chlerogas tatamaensis Engel & Gonzalez, new species, is distinguished from its congeners on the basis of integumental coloration and sculpturing as well as features of the male terminalia. A revised key to the species of Chlerogas is provided.

Keywords : Andes; Anthophila; Apoidea; Augochlorini; Colombia; taxonomy.
