The orchid-bee faunas of 'Parque Nacional do Monte Pascoal', 'Parque Nacional do Descobrimento' and three other Atlantic Forest remnants ranging from 1 to 300 ha in southern Bahia, eastern Brazil, were surveyed. Baits with seventeen different scents were used to attract orchid-bee males. Four thousand seven hundred and sixty-four males belonging to 36 species were actively collected with insect nets during 300 hours from November, 2008 to November, 2009. Richness and diversity of orchid bees found in this study are the highest ever recorded in the Atlantic Forest domain. Eufriesea dentilabris (Mocsáry, 1897) and Eufriesea violacea (Blanchard, 1840) were collected at the 'Parque Nacional do Monte Pascoal', the first record of these species for the state of Bahia and the northernmost record for both species. Females Exaerete dentata (Linnaeus, 1758) were also collected at 'Parque Nacional do Monte Pascoal' and old records of Eufriesea aeneiventris (Mocsáry, 1896) in this area makes this site the richest and most diverse concerning its orchid-bee fauna in the entire Atlantic Forest and similar to areas in the Amazon Basin.
对巴西东部巴伊亚州南部“蒙特帕斯科阿尔国家公园”“发现国家公园”以及其他三块面积在1至300公顷之间的大西洋森林残余地的兰花蜂动物群进行了调查。使用带有17种不同气味的诱饵来吸引兰花蜂雄蜂。在2008年11月至2009年11月的300小时内，用昆虫网主动捕获了属于36个物种的4764只雄蜂。本研究中发现的兰花蜂的丰富度和多样性是大西洋森林区域有记录以来最高的。在“蒙特帕斯科阿尔国家公园”采集到了齿唇尤弗里西蜂（Mocsáry，1897）和紫尤弗里西蜂（Blanchard，1840），这是这两个物种在巴伊亚州的首次记录，也是它们最北的记录。在“蒙特帕斯科阿尔国家公园”还采集到了齿状埃克塞雷特蜂（Linnaeus，17
