[First record of Euglossa stilbonota Dressler (Apidae: Euglossini) outside the Amazon Forest: biogeographic implications].
The distribution area of Euglossa stilbonota Dressler was restricted to the Amazon Forest, the richest habitat of endemic species of Euglossini bees. In here, we report for the first time the occurrence of E. stilbonata outside of Amazon Domain, in a 'cocais' forest area in Northeast Maranhão. The biogeographic implications are discussed.
