A new subgenus of Protandrena Cockerell (Panurginae: Protandrenini) from South America, Andinopanurgus Gonzalez & Engel, subgen. n., is described and figured for distinctive species of the genus occurring at mid- and high elevations in the Andes from Venezuela to Peru (1100-3400 m). In addition to the distribution, the subgenus is easily distinguished from other subgenera by a unique combination of morphological characters in both sexes, especially in the hidden sterna and genitalia of the male. Protandrena amyaesp. n., and Protandrena femoralissp. n., are also described and figured from the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Andes. New geographical records and a key to the species are also provided.
描述并图示了来自南美洲的原雄蜂属(Cockerell)(准蜂亚科:原雄蜂族)的一个新亚属——安第斯原雄蜂属(Andinopanurgus Gonzalez & Engel),新亚属。该亚属包含分布于从委内瑞拉到秘鲁安第斯山脉中高海拔地区(1100 - 3400米)的该属独特物种。除分布区域外,该亚属在两性形态特征上有独特组合,尤其是雄性隐藏的腹板和生殖器,这使其易于与其他亚属区分开来。还描述并图示了来自厄瓜多尔和秘鲁安第斯山脉的艾米原雄蜂(Protandrena amyae)新种和股原雄蜂(Protandrena femoralis)新种。此外,还提供了新的地理记录和物种检索表。
