FIGURES 33-34 in Nests, Floral Preferences, and Immatures of the Bee Haetosmia vechti (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Osmiini)

FIGURES 33-34. Diagrams of immatures of Haetosmia vechti, lateral views, drawn to same scale = 1.0 mm. 33. Postdefecating larva, demonstrating overall shape; vestiture not indicated. The specimen used for this illustration did not preserve well, so that the illustration lacks accuracy, although overall form is correct; the description is believed to be far more reliable. 34. Male pupa with vestiture indicated.

Pollen-collecting female of Haetosmia circumventa on Heliotropium sp. 31. SEM micrograph of female proboscis of Haetosmia vechti with specialized pollen-harvesting bristles densely covering the second segment of both labial palpi. 32. SEM micrograph of pollen-harvesting bristles on the right labial palpus of Haetosmia vechti.

FIGURES 20–26 in Nests, Floral Preferences, and Immatures of the Bee Haetosmia vechti (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Osmiini)

FIGURES 20–26. SEM micrographs of cells and cocoons of Haetosmia vechti. 20. Front end of cocoon in figure 18, showing filter area. 21. Filter area of another cocoon. 22. Same, close-up, showing surrounding fibrous area. 23, 24. Inner cocoon surface demonstrating: (1) transparency of silk surface; note debris seeming to "float" on surface and (2) the near disappearance of elongate streak of white material (arrows), which reflects shape and not color; figure 24 with cocoon on left and edge of wall with thin fecal layer and resin wall on right. 25. Another area of cell wall with cocoon on left, showing cluster of presumed microorganisms on inner surface of wall beneath cocoon and impression of organism indicated on undersurface of cocoon. 26. Closeup of microorganisms, suggesting that more than one species may be involved.

FIGURES 12–19 in Nests, Floral Preferences, and Immatures of the Bee Haetosmia vechti (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Osmiini)

FIGURES 12–19. Macrophotographs of cells of Haetosmia vechti, anterior ends at top when in lateral view. 12. Entire cell, exterior surface, showing urn shape. 13. Same cell as figure 12 turned 90°, showing asymmetry. 14. Cell top, showing elevated rim surrounding closure. 15. Cell closure, inner surface. 16. Same closure as figure 15, exterior surface. 17. Inner surface of cell showing transparent cocoon covering dark feces and streaks of white material (arrows); scale bar at left. Note ribbons of feces best seen at anterior end. 18. Another opened cell with anterior end of cocoon still attached with filter (circle) identified. 19. Another cell showing inner surface, with white material (arrows); scale bar for figures 18, 19 at lower right.

Lateral lobe of abdominal segment 8 left side, showing spiracle and 8 setae (arrows). 38. Spiracle side view, showing elongate subatrium with barrel-shaped chambers.
