          Abstract

          In a study conducted in the gallery forest of the Vale doVeu de Noiva in the Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso state, chemical baits were used to attract and sample male orchid bees. From September 2003 to July 2005, male euglossine bees were captured monthly, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as they arrived at the baits. Of the 264 males captured, eight males belonged to Aglae caerulea Lepeletier & Serville, a cleptoparasitic euglossine species that presumably occurred only in the Amazon basin. Therefore, the occurrence of A. caerulea in this study area extends its geographical distribution range by approximately 2,400 km southwards in South America, as it is now recorded in both the Amazon and Platina basins.

          Em um estudo conduzido em uma floresta de galeria do Vale do Véu de Noiva no Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães, MT, substâncias puras foram utilizadas para atrair e amostrar machos das abelhas das orquídeas. De setembro de 2003 a julho de 2005, uma vez por mês, das 8:00h às 16:00h, os machos foram capturados conforme eles chegavam às iscas-odores. Dos 264 machos coletados, oito eram Aglae caerulea Lepeletier & Serville, uma espécie cleptoparasítica com distribuição geográfica restrita à Bacia Amazônica. Portanto, a ocorrência de A. caerulea naquela área de estudo amplia aproximadamente em 2.400 km os limites para o sul da América do Sul, estando agora documentada sua presença tanto na Bacia Amazônica como na Bacia Platina.
