Abstract

We here report the leaf-cutter bee Megachile (Eutricharaea) timberlakei Cockerell1920 (Megachilidae) as a third bee species in the Gala´pagos. The species is currentlyknown from the Hawaiian Islands and was collected during floral inventories on SanCristo´ bal. We provide floral records as well as a diagnosis and comparativecomments that will assist bee researchers to easily recognize this species from othernative and adventive Megachile Latreille to the Americas. We also discuss thepossible routes to the Gala´pagos.
