本文研究了沿着哥斯达黎加瓜纳卡斯特省太平洋沿岸发现的裂寄生蜂Mesoplia dahirina梅洛and Rocha-Filho，sp. nov.（见附录）及其地面筑巢宿主Centris flavofasciata Friese的生物学特性。我们探讨了M的寄主巢搜索行为，产卵和嗜杀行为。你好它的蛋，第一，第二，第五幼虫龄期的解剖帐户，并与其他ericrocidine类群的描述出版。文中还描述了寄主蜂的巢、卵和羽化方法。
This paper investigates the bionomics of the cleptoparasitic bee Mesoplia sapphirina Melo and Rocha-Filho, sp. nov. (described in the appendix), and of its ground-nesting host Centris flavofasciata Friese found along the Pacific coast of Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. We explore the host-nest searching behavior, egg deposition, and hospicidal behavior of M. sapphirina. Anatomical accounts of its egg, first, second, and fifth larval instars are presented and compared with published descriptions of other ericrocidine taxa. Nests of the host bee as well as its egg and method of eclosion are also described.
