Taxonomic study on selected species of stingless bee (hymenoptera: apidae: meliponini) in peninsular Malaysia. Biology, Agricultural and Food Sciences, 23 (2). pp. 203-258. ISSN 1394-5130 (2018)



Abstract

A total of 19 species of stingless bee (Apidae: Meliponini) from eight genera were examined and revised, based on 145 specimens from the collection of Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI), Malaysian Genome Institute (MGI) and a sampling done in several stingless bee farms in Peninsular Malaysia. This study aims to revise a taxonomic character and provide a redescription of stingless bee based on morphological characters and morphometric measurements of 24 parameters, in order to prepare a dichotomous key to the genus and species in Peninsular Malaysia.
