A new species of <i>Duckeanthidium </i>Moure &amp; Hurd (Megachilidae: Anthidiini) from Colombia, with notes on <i>D. thielei</i> Michener in Panama
A new species of the Neotropical genus Duckeanthidium Moure & Hurd is described and illustrated from the Amazon basin in Colombia. Duckeanthidium silvicola Guevara & Gonzalez, new species, is known from the female and exhibits intermediate features between the Central American species D. thielei Michener and the Amazonian species D. atropos (Smith). In addition, we report long-term observations on D. thielei from Panama for the first time, along with notes on nesting and sex ratio.
