摘要: The tribe Protepeolini is formed by parasitic bees with Leiopodus being the only genus of tribe. parasitize nests members Emphorini. Secretions head glands are important to biology as they may act chemical signals in parasitism strategies. In this paper, we describe morphology and histoarchitecture three species compare them those their Emphorini hosts. Mandibular hypopharingeal were identified , but no salivary observed. Only displayed sexual dimorphism mandibular glands, males showing well-developed secretory portions a characteristic organization tissue which was previously unknown bees. possible role discussed relationship behavioral parameters Leiopodus.
