GENUS Flavipanurgus

Author: Warncke, 1972

Type species:  Panurgus flavus Friese, 1897, by original designation.
Clade: Anthophila
Family: Andrenidae
Subfamily: Panurginae
Tribe: Panurgini
Estimated min and max body length from the genus.
Countries with known records of the genus (based on Nieto et al. 2014)
Estimated difficulty to accurately identify a specimen as belonging to this genus.
Distinctive traits
  • Small bees with yellow markings on the body
  • 2 submarginal cells of equivalent size
  • truncated marginal cell
  • first recurrent vein distant from the first cubital transverse vein.
  • Restricted to the Iberian Peninsula, like Simpanurgus.

Pictures of distinctive traits
Morphologically close genera, and how to distinguish them:
  • Flavipanurgus - Simpanurgus
Males of Flavipanurgus species have eyes ventrally diverging, so that they are closer from one another at the top.
Males of Simpanurgus species have convex inner margin of the eyes, so that they are closer from one another in their middle.  (Females of Simpanurgus are unknown)
  • Flavipanurgus - Camptopoeum
Flavipanurgus species have a glossa shorter than the prementum.
Camptopoeum species have a glossa longer than the prementum.
  • Flavipanurgus - Panurgus
Flavipanurgus species have a cuticle with yellow markings on the head and / or metasoma.
Panurgus has a brown/black cuticle on the head and / or metasoma.
  • Flavipanurgus - Clavipanurgus & Panurginus
Flavipanurgus species have submarginal cell 1 of similar size than cell 2, recurrent vein 1 distant from cubital transverse vein 1. Females have dense and long pilosity on posterior tibia and basitarsus.
Clavipanurgus & Panurginus species have submarginal cell 2 smaller than cell 1, recurrent vein 1 almost touching cubital transverse vein 1. Females have sparse and short hairs on posterior tibia and basitarsus.
  • Flavipanurgus - Ammobates, Biastes, Parammobatodes & Pasites
Flavipanurgus has a flat clypeus and a short-tongue morphology of mouthparts (short maxillary palpi).
Ammobates, Biastes, Parammobatodes & Pasites have a somewhat protruding clypeus and a long-tongue morphology (segments 1 and 2 of maxillary palpi are strongly elongated).
General comments on Flavipanurgus species identification
Flavipanurgus species are distinguished among other things by the punctation of their propodeum and their anal fringe.
SPECIES IDENTIFICATION TOOL
