Abstract

BACKGROUND: Central Asia is one of the important centers of bee diversity in the Palearctic Region. However, there is insufficient information for many taxa in the central Asian bee fauna. The Kyushu and Shimane Universities (Japan) Expeditions to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Xinjiang Uyghur of China were conducted in the years 2000 to 2004 and 2012 to 2014. NEW INFORMATION: Eighty-eight species of the bee family Halictidae Thomson, 1869 are enumerated including new localities in central Asia. Halictus tibialis Walker, 1871, H. persephone Ebmer, 1976, Lasioglossum denislucum (Strand, 1909), L. griseolum (Morawitz, 1872), L. melanopus (Dalla Torre, 1896), L. nitidiusculum (Kirby, 1802), L. sexnotatulum (Nylander, 1852), L. subequestre (Blüthgen, 1931), L. sublaterale (Blüthgen, 1931), and L. zonulum (Smith, 1848) are recorded from central Asia for the first time. Thirty-two species are newly recorded from Kazakhstan, 19 spp. from Kyrgyzstan, 2 spp. from Uzbekistan, and 11 spp. from Xinjiang Uyghur of China. The genus Lasioglossum dominated the number of species and individuals in the collection. The halictid fauna mostly composed of western to central Asian elements in our surveyed area.

Introduction

Central Asia is a warm-temperate arid region located in the central part of the Eurasia Continent. It is sometimes referred to as Turkestan. In modern contexts, Central Asia includes the countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Bees are generally considered to have higher diversity in the warm-temperate arid region than those in the tropics (Michener 1979). According to Michener (2007), the bee fauna is particularly rich in the Mediterranean basin and thence eastward to Central Asia in the Palearctic Region. In central Asia and the western part of China, we conducted field surveys from 2000 to 2004 and 2012 to 2014, for the purpose of both taxonomic and biological studies of central Asian bees (Tadauchi 2005). A total of approximately 30,000 bee specimens were collected through this central Asian expedition. The present paper is the eleventh one of the series treating the result of this expedition (Tadauchi et al. 2005; Tadauchi 2006, Tadauchi 2008; Miyanaga et al. 2006; Mitai and Tadauchi 2008; Kuhlmann 2009; Shebl and Tadauchi 2009; Williams 2011; Mitai 2012; Murao et al. 2015). In the present paper, we report the collection data of the family Thomson, 1869 except for the cleptoparasitic genus Latreille, 1804, with new locality data. We also discuss the faunal features of central Asian halictid bees in our surveyed area. is the second largest group of bees, with approximately 4,400 recognized species worldwide (Ascher and Pickering 2017). This family is found on all continents except for Antarctica. Four subfamilies are recognized (Michener 2007): Schenck, 1866, Robertson, 1904, Börner, 1919, and Thomson, 1869. Both morphological and molecular data support the monophyly of these four subfamilies (Pesenko 1999; Danforth et al. 2004). Halictid bees nest in the soil or rarely in rotting wood. They have a diverse social structure such as solitary, communal, semisocial, and eusocial (e.g., Michener 1974; Schwarz et al. 2007). Several genera and species are cleptoparasites or social parasites in nests of halictid or other bees. Most halictid species are known to be host-plant generalists except for some host-plant specialist taxa (e.g., the subfamily and Gerstaecker, 1858). In the temperate area of the world, halictid bees are common, ofen dominating other bees in number of individuals and species (Michener 2007). The halictid bees from central Asia are mainly recorded by the following various researchers: Astafurova (2004), Astafurova and Pesenko (2005), Blüthgen (1923c), Blüthgen (1923a), Blüthgen (1923b), Blüthgen (1924), Blüthgen (1925), Blüthgen (1929), Blüthgen (1931), Blüthgen (1933a), Blüthgen (1933b), Blüthgen (1934b), Blüthgen (1934a), Blüthgen (1936), Blüthgen (1955), Ebmer (1972), Ebmer (1980), Ebmer (1995), Handlirsch (1888), Mitai (2012), Morawitz (1876), Morawitz (1880), Morawitz (1893), Morawitz (1894), Pallas (1773), Pèrez (1903), Pesenko (1979), Pesenko (1983), Pesenko (1984a), Pesenko (1984b), Pesenko (1984c), Pesenko (1985), Pesenko (1986), Pesenko (2005b), Pesenko (2005a), Pesenko (2006), Pesenko and Astafurova (2006), Pesenko and Wu (1997), Popov (1934), Popov (1935), Popov (1949), Popov (1952), Popov (1956), Popov (1958), Radoszkowski (1893), Strand (1909), Vachal (1902), Warncke (1976), Wu (1985). According to the database of Ascher and Pickering (2017), 219 species are listed from central Asia: 107 spp. from Kazakhstan, 66 spp. from Kyrgyzstan, 85 spp. from Tajikistan, 96 spp. from Turkmenistan, and 76 spp. from Uzbekistan.

All specimens are preserved in the Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. The specimens data are also accessible from Tadauchi and Murao (2009). Identification of halictid bee specimens is based on the collection both Biologiezentrum/Oberösterreichisches Landesmuseum (Linz, Austria) and Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg, Russia), and the following keys: Astafurova and Pesenko (2005), Pesenko (2005b), Pesenko (2005c), Pesenko (2006), and Pesenko and Astafurova (2006). Information on distribution for each species in the present paper is based on Astafurova and Pesenko (2005), Ebmer (1995), Ebmer (1997), Ebmer (2005), Ebmer and Sakagami (1985), Niu et al. (2005), Niu et al. (2007), Pesenko (2005b), Pesenko (2005a), Pesenko (2006), Pesenko and Astafurova (2006), Pesenko and Wu (1997), Pesenko et al. (2000), and Ascher and Pickering (2017).

Discussion

A total of 88 species belonging to eight genera in four subfamilies were collected during our survey. We found 10 new records for Central Asia, 32 new records for Kazakhstan, 19 new records for Kyrgyzstan, two new records for Uzbekistan, and 11 new records for Xinjiang Uyghur of China. The subfamily dominated the bee fauna both in the number of species (78 / 88 spp.) and individuals (15968 / 16384 exs.) (Table 1; Suppl. material 1). Particularly, the genus was the most common group (50 / 88 spp.; 13220 / 16384 exs.). This genus is known to dominate both in the number of species and individuals in warm-temparate regions (Sakagami and Fukuda 1973; Maeta et al. 2003). This tendency is similar in our surveyed area of central Asia.

The most dominant species in individuals was occurring mainly in the Western Palearctic Region. One of the reasons, it seems that is known as a eusocial species having the largest colony-size (worker number exceeds 400 individuals for per colony) in the eusocial (Plateaux-Quénu 1962; Michener 1974). The distribution of each species was roughly classified into seven elements as follows: 1) Holarctic, widely distributed from Palearctic to Nearctic Region (3 spp.): , , and . 2) Transpalearctic, widely distributed from Europe to Far East (5 spp.): , , , , and . 3) Transpalearctic-Oriental, widely distributed from Europe to Far East and southeastern Asia (2 spp.): and . 4) Europe to central Asia (33 spp.): , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . 5) Western to central Asia, nearly endemic in central Asia (42 spp.): , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . 6) Central Asia to Far East (2 spp.): and . 7) Southern to central Asia. (1 sp.): . The halictid fauna were mostly composed of Western to Central Asian elements (47.7 %), followed by the European to central Asian elements (37.5 %) in our suveyed area. Many specimens belonging to , , , and remain unidentified.
