The apid cuckoo bees of the Cape Verde Islands (Republic of Cape Verde) are reviewed and five species recognized, representing two genera. The ammobatine genus Chiasmognathus Engel (Nomadinae: Ammobatini), a specialized lineage of cleptoparasites of nomioidine bees is recorded for the first time. Chiasmognathus batelkaisp. n. is distinguished from mainland African and Asian species. The genus Thyreus Panzer (Apinae: Melectini) is represented by four species - Thyreus denoliisp. n., Thyreus batelkaisp. n., Thyreus schwarzisp. n., and Thyreus aistleitnerisp. n. Previous records of Thyreus scutellaris (Fabricius) from the islands were based on misidentifications.
对佛得角群岛(佛得角共和国)的速杜鹃蜂进行了综述,确认了五个物种,分属于两个属。首次记录了盗蜜亚科(Nomadinae)盗蜜族(Ammobatini)的特化盗寄生谱系——交叉颚蜂属(Chiasmognathus Engel)。新物种交叉颚蜂(Chiasmognathus batelkaisp. n.)与非洲大陆和亚洲的物种不同。泰留蜂属(Thyreus Panzer,蜜蜂亚科:梅勒细蜂族)有四个物种——德诺利斯泰留蜂(Thyreus denoliisp. n.)、巴泰尔凯泰留蜂(Thyreus batelkaisp. n.)、施瓦茨泰留蜂(Thyreus schwarzisp. n.)和艾斯莱特纳泰留蜂(Thyreus aistleitnerisp. n.)。之前该群岛上盾形泰留蜂(Thyreus scutellaris,法布尔)的记录是基于错误鉴定。
