Eumegachile (Sayapis) pugnata (Say)，以前称为 Megachile (Say-apis) pugnata Say（Mitchell 1981），是一种大型（13-18 毫米）切叶蜂，广泛分布于美国和加拿大南部（Hurd 1979）。 Eumegachile pugnata 在多种环境中筑巢，包括在木材中的人造钻孔中，并且很容易被困在野外（Medler 1964，Krombein 1967，Parker & Frohlich 准备中。）。由于 E. pugnata 对菊科植物的花朵寡聚（Tepedino & Frohlich 1982），最近人们的注意力集中在将蜜蜂开发为商业授粉者。向日葵。 Parker 和 Frohlich (1983) 描述了其在杂交向日葵授粉中的应用； Tepedino 和 Frohlich (1982) 讨论了死亡率因素、花粉利用率和性别比； Frohlich (1982) 描述了其生态的各个方面。这项研究的目的是
Eumegachile (Sayapis) pugnata (Say), formerly Megachile (Say-apis) pugnata Say (Mitchell 1981), is a large (13-18 mm) leafcutter bee that is widely distributed throughout the United States and southern Canada (Hurd 1979). Eumegachile pugnata nests in a wide variety of situations including man-made borings in wood and is easily trapped in the wild (Medler 1964, Krombein 1967, Parker & Frohlich in prep.).Since E. pugnata is oligolectic to flowers of the Compositae (Tepedino & Frohlich 1982), attention has recently been directed toward developing the bee as a pollinator of commercial sunflower. Parker and Frohlich (1983) described its use in hybrid sunflower pollination; Tepedino and Frohlich (1982) discussed mortality fac-tors, pollen utilization and sex ratio; and Frohlich (1982) described various aspects of its ecology. The purpose ofthis study was to
