Abstract

This study presents the first checklist of the bees of the Maltese Islands and includes notes on the distribution of each species. A total of 95 species belonging to five bee families are recorded: Andrenidae (17 species), Apidae (34 species), Colletidae (6 species), Halictidae (15 species) and Megachilidae (23 species). Lasioglossum callizonium (Pérez, 1896) is recorded for the first time from the Maltese Islands. Records of three previously reported species are listed as dubious. The bee fauna of the Maltese Archipelago is dominated by widespread West-Palaearctic species, and most of the species recorded are also found in the Western Mediterranean Basin. Bees that have been recorded from Malta are also known from Southern Europe. The study provides a biogeographical analysis of the Maltese bee fauna, and discusses the conservation of this group and their important role in the delivery of ecosystem services in the Maltese Islands.

摘要

本研究列出了马耳他群岛蜜蜂的首份清单，并包含了每种蜜蜂分布情况的说明。共记录了属于五个蜜蜂科的95种蜜蜂：地蜂科（17种）、蜜蜂科（34种）、集蜂科（6种）、隧蜂科（15种）和切叶蜂科（23种）。黄斑狭腹蜂（Lasioglossum callizonium）（佩雷斯，1896年）首次在马耳他群岛被记录到。三个先前报道物种的记录被列为存疑。马耳他群岛的蜜蜂动物群以广泛分布的西古北界物种为主，所记录的大多数物种在地中海西部盆地也有发现。在马耳他有记录的蜜蜂在南欧也有分布。该研究对马耳他蜜蜂动物群进行了生物地理学分析，并讨论了该类群的保护以及它们在马耳他群岛生态系统服务提供中所起的重要作用。
