摘要
The augochlorine bee genus Chlerogas Vachal is revised and the female is described for the first time. The genus is newly diagnosed and new characters discussed for its separation from other augochlorine genera. Seven new species are recognized-Chlerogas araguaensis, C. boliviensis, C. colombiensis, C. cyaneus, C. nephos C, tiara, and C. townesi-in addition to two previously described species: C. chlerogas (Vachal) and C, hirsutipennis Cockerell. The group was previously only recorded from Peru, but is now known in Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. A key is provided for the identification of all species.
