INTRODUCTION

The Hymenoptera collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP) is one of the world’s most expressive considering the Neotropical fauna of Hymenoptera, preserved both in dry (pinned) and wet (alcohol) conditions. First specimens’ records date back to early twentieth century, when the museum at the time was still the Department of Zoology of the Museu Paulista (Klingenberg & Brandão, 2005Klingenberg, C. & Brandão, C.R.F. 2005. The type specimens of fungus growing ants, Attini (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Myrmicinae) deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil.

). Since the specimens collected by Hermann von Ihering (1850-1930) and by Hermann von Luderwadt (1865-1934), the collection has grown notably through various collecting projects efforts, acquisition of other collections, exchange with colleagues and institutions, and through donations of specimens from researchers of all over the world.

In the last few years, the Brazilian agencies CNPq (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico) and FAPESP (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) financed the development of several projects regarding the Hymenoptera collection of the MZUSP, to improve its curatorial capacity and to make information available to researchers and other society segments. In this context, and taking into account the recommendation 72F of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, fourth edition, January 1999International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). 1999. International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. 4ª ed. London, ICZN. Available at: Available at: www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted-sites/iczn/code . Access in: 01/06/2018.

) about the role of collections in making the types available to researches, catalogues have been published aiming to list all Hymenoptera types specimens deposited in the MZUSP collection.

). The most recent ones include also images of the primary types to avoid long distance loans and unnecessary movement of these specimens.

The aim of this paper is to catalog the type specimens of the Crabronidae and Sphecidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) deposited in the MZUSP.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

This catalogue lists all types of Crabronidae and Sphecidae specimens deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP). There are no type specimens of other Apoidea families in the collection, except bees already cataloged by Ramos et al. (2015Ramos, K.S.; Kawada, R. & Brandão, C.R.F. 2015. Type specimens of bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae) deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 55: 335-361. http://doi.org/10.1590/0031-1049.2015.55.24
http://doi.org/10.1590/0031-1049.2015.55...
). Species data are organized by families, subfamilies, tribes, genera and species in alphabetical order according to the current classification and their original combinations. We adopted the subfamilies classification of Crabronidae as in Amarante (2006Amarante, S.T.P. 2006. Familia Crabronidae. In: Fernández, F. & Sharkey, M.J. (Eds.) Introducción a los Hymenoptera de la Región Neotropical. Bogotá D.C., Sociedad Colombiana de Entomología y Universidad Nacional de Colombia. p. 457-470.). Type specimen’s current status were verified by the following databases: Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna (Oliveira et al., 2018Oliveira, M.L.; Fernandez, D.R.R.; Alvarenga, T.M.; Andena, S.R.; Araujo, R.O.; Azevedo, C.O.; Barbosa, D.N.; Bartholomay, P.R.; Costa, V.A.; DalMolin, A.; Fernandes, I.O.; Gadelha, S.S.; Galhardo, F.; Hermes, M.G.; Justino, C.E.L.; Kawada, R.; Kohler, A.; Lara, R.I.R.; Lucena, D.A.A.; Luz, D.R.; Macedo, A., Maragaría, C.; Oliveira, B.G.; Pádua, D.G.; Perioto, N.W.; Pikart, T.G.; Querino, R.B.; Rosa, B.B.; Santos, B.F.; Santos, E.F.; Schoeninger, K.; Smith, D.R.; Somavilla, A.; Tavares, M.T.; Zanella, F.C.V. & Zilch, K. 2018.

), Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), Hymenoptera Online (HOL) and Catalog of Sphecidae of the Academy of Sciences of California (Pulawski, 2018Pulawski, W.J. 2018. Catalog of Sphecidae.

). The names of species are followed by author(s), year, and page of publication.

High resolution photographs of the primary types were obtained with a Leica DFC 295 video camera attached to a Leica M205C magnifying stereoscope. Leica LAS (Leica Application Suite V3.6.0) and Helicon Focus (version 6.0.18) software were used to assemble the series of images taken at different focus distances by z-stacking method.

All information given herein was compiled from label data, MZUSP records, published material and other available sources that we were able to recover. Whenever possible, data are presented in the following sequence: type category, number and sex of specimens, current MZUSP registration number, locality (country, state/province, city, and other locality details), date of collecting, trap type or other collecting technique and collector’s name. Labels information were transcribed between apostrophes (‘ ’), sometimes indicating information from different labels attached to the same specimen. Abbreviated and additional information are presented in brackets ([ ]). Original data are provided in the original languages of the labels and additional information in English.

RESULTS

The collection comprises a total of 83 type specimens, 82 of them belong to Crabronidae (17 holotypes and 66 paratypes of nine genera and 35 species) and one holotype is a Sphecidae.
