Abstract
e new species of orchid bees are described and figured from the Amazon and Atlantic forests of Brazil. Euglossa clausi sp. n., E. moratoi sp. n., and E. pepei sp. n. are distinguished from their close congeners E. crassipunctata Moure, E. parvula Dressler, and E. sapphirina Moure, previously placed in the subgenus Euglossa (Glossurella) Dressler, 1982, a demonstrably paraphyletic assemblage requiring serious reconsideration. Their aThreffinities with related species are discussed and pertinent characters are figured.
