Abstract

"The mature larva, pupa, and biology of the Chilean bee Neofidelia profuga Moure and Michener are described and compared with those of the South African Fidelia villosa Brauns. Although a number of interesting differences occur between these two species, they share numerous similarities. The information on the biology and immature stages of Neofidelia profuga supports the conclusion, presented in a previous paper, that the family Fideliidae and the leaf-cutter bee family Megachilidae are related"--P. [1].
