摘要: Nesting behaviour is extremely diversified among solitary nesting sphecids. Thus, the aim of this study was to describe Trypoxylon agamemnon and discuss advantages guarding males. It conducted in Parque Municipal das Araucarias, Guarapuava (PR), Brazil from October/2003 July/2007. To T. agamemnon construct its ethogram, daily observations were made, totalling 410:19 hours observation. Although males stand guard close entrance nests, we concluded that not ensuring protection nests against parasitoids that, probably, ensures them paternity, but further studies with microsatellite markers will be necessary confirm hypothesis.
